They’re usually 30 weeks long, and most students study for about 8–10 hours a week.</p> <p>If a fast-track option is available, you can complete your Access module in 18 weeks by increasing your study time to 16–20 hours a week. We recommend that you apply early to guarantee your place.</p><h3>Designed to inspire you</h3><p>You’ll explore a range of broadly related subjects within one module. That means you’ll have the time and space to discover where your natural interests lie before settling on your ultimate qualification goal.</p><h2>You're in control of your starting point</h2><p>We’re different to other universities because we’re open to people based on their potential rather than their prior qualifications. Most of our courses have no formal entry requirements and our students come from a diverse range of educational backgrounds. So, we offer a choice of starting points depending on how confident you are in your study skills.</p> <p>You can either dive straight in at Stage 1, or you might prefer a gentler start with some extra preparation, in which case, an Access module is ideal. You just need to live in the UK, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Ireland, or have a British Forces Post Office address.</p><h3>Distance, not distant</h3><p>You won’t be alone. When you study an Access module you’ll have:</p> <ul> <li>One-to-one tutorials with a dedicated tutor, who can tailor their approach to your individual needs. Your personal phone tutorials take place at a time that suits you, and you’ll get written feedback on your work.</li> <li>A student support team staffed by specialist advisers, able to help with any issues you might experience while studying with us.</li> <li>The opportunity to share ideas with other students through our online forums.</li> </ul><h2>No exam</h2><p>To study an Access module, you just need a phone and access to a computer with a good internet connection, that’s it. Your work on the Access module will be assessed through four short written assignments and some activities online.</p><h2>Skills development built in</h2><p>Our study materials will develop not only your knowledge, but your skills and confidence too. They’re designed specially to help with things like:</p> <ul> <li>Refreshing your study techniques – it might have been a while since you last studied, or you might prefer getting to grips with online and distance learning at a gentler pace. Whatever your circumstances, an Access module is excellent preparation for the next step of your student journey with us.</li> <li>Using computers – if you’re not confident with computers, an Access module gives you lots of help and advice as it guides you through tasks such as: internet searches, online quizzes and talking to fellow students through our online forums.</li> </ul><div class="int-desktop-only-show" style="margin-top: 0px; padding: 0px"> <table style="margin-top: 19pt; border-collapse: collapse; border: none;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width: 198.2pt; background: #c3d5e9; padding: 11.35pt 11.35pt 11.35pt 11.35pt;" width="264"> <h3 style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;">Did you know?</h3> <br /> Students who start with an Access module are <strong>more likely to be successful</strong> when they advance to OU Stage 1 study. <p style="height: 3px"> </p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div></div><div class='int-grid4'><article class='int-article-link'><div class='video-wrapper'><div class='video-container media-wrapper-left'><iframe title="Video: why Access modules are a great place to start" src='https://player.open.ac.uk/embed/55d3b553b7' allowfullscreen='' ></iframe></div> <section class='video-footer'><p>Why start with an Access module?</p></section></div> </article><div class='int-row int-round-image-blockquote'><blockquote class='int-quote-intro'>If your education suffered because of your start in life, there are Access courses you can take.
