A short, intensive and free course, our Fastrack programme has been specifically designed to support progression on to a range of undergraduate degrees at Edge Hill University.
Aimed at mature learners who have been out of study for at least two years, and do not hold the required entry qualifications, you will be equipped with the confidence, familiarisation and essential academic skills required to study at degree level.

What our students think
The course really built my confidence and now I’m the person in class answering questions while everyone else is sitting quietly. Fastrack prepared me for education but also for the future and being where I want to be. There’s no down side to this course and I really can’t speak highly enough of it.

The Fastrack programme gave me the confidence and direction I needed, introduced me to the campus and people and taught me how to write academically. Even if just a small part of you is thinking about doing this course then I would definitely recommend it

I can do things now that I would never have imagined before. As a busy mum, I thought I’d struggle, but I’ve found I can sit down and put my mind to things. It’s really changed my life.
