Higher Education Fair, November Event - Great Success!
Adult Education Wolverhampton (AEW) held its twice yearly aspirational Higher Education Fair on 19 November which provided current students with course information for degree level courses, funding options specifically for adults and entry requirements to university. Over 90% of students on our Access to HE Diploma courses progress to university each year. Courses are ideal for adults who do not have the formal university entry requirements to gain the skills and the qualification to progress.
Five universities from across the wider Midlands area attended this event. Exhibitors saw over 60 AEW students who are currently studying on Access to Higher Education, Working in Health, Pre-Access to Higher Education, ICT, Childcare Level 1, English and ESOL. The next Higher Education event is on 20th May 2026 from 10am to 1pm at Old Hall Street, Wolverhampton WV1 3AU.
AEW offers two Access to Higher Education (HE) Diploma courses which are suitable for adult students wanting to gain qualifications to progress to university or advanced level apprenticeship. Access to HE - Health Professions Diploma is suitable for students wishing to study nursing, midwifery, paramedic science and the Access to HE – Social Science is suitable for students who wish to study social work, psychology, counselling, social policy, politics and other humanity courses.
New Access to Higher Education Diploma courses start in February 2026 and September 2026, check AEW website for open days to talk to teachers to find out more.
