SWINDON College is holding an Access to Higher Education Open Evening on Thursday. The event part of National Adult Learners Week takes place between 5pm and 8pm.

College spokesman Jim Hall said: "Swindon College has a great tradition of helping students from diverse backgrounds move into Higher Education.

"Many students go from studying Access subjects to university and then on to become nurses, midwives, teachers, psychologists, sociologists and solicitors.

"This is an opportunity for those who want to have a career but have not had the opportunity to gain formal qualifications until now."

The open evening is at the college's Learning Resource Centre in Regent Circus.
