10 4. Access to HE Units of Assessment Access to HE Diplomas are a unitised qualification based on units of assessment which are structured in accordance with the Access to HE unit specification set out by QAA. 4.1 Unit specification A common unit specification applies to all units with Access to HE Diplomas the unit specification follows a standard template covering the following elements: title level credit value unit code learning outcomes assessment criteria grade descriptors type of unit (academic subject content or not). The units of assessment for the Access to HE Diploma (Counselling) are contained within this Access to HE Diploma Guide. 4.2 Academic subject content A unit is classified as having academic subject content, if the unit s knowledge and skills are directly related to the subject of the name of the Access to HE Diploma. Units will not meet the academic subject content requirement if they are principally concerned with personal development, generic English or mathematics, or study skills. 4.3 Graded and ungraded units Graded units grading operates at unit level and only applies to units which have been approved by Gateway Qualifications within a named Access to HE Diploma. Student achievement for graded units is recorded as Pass, Merit or Distinction for each unit, as set out in the QAA Access to HE Grading Scheme, Graded units will also satisfy the criteria of academic subject content. There is a common set of broad generic grade descriptors which are used as the basis for all grading judgements on all courses: 1 Understanding the subject 2 Application of knowledge 3 Application of skills 4 Use of knowledge 5 Communication and presentation 6 Autonomy / Independence 7 Quality. Further guidance is available as set out in the QAA Access to HE Grading Scheme, 2012 at component level and details requirements for Merit and Distinction. Not all grade descriptors are used with every unit. A selection of grade descriptors is assigned when the unit is validated, based on a judgement on which descriptors are relevant in assessing how well a student has performed on the unit. Page 10 of 36

11 The grade descriptors are a formal part of the specification of that unit and changes can only be made through the Gateway Qualifications formal process for amendments to units. Ungraded units within the Access to HE Diploma specification a total of 15 credits must be achieved from units achieved at level 2 or level 3 which are ungraded. The ungraded units will have the same format as the ungraded units. 4.4 Revisions to Access to HE Units of Assessment Gateway Qualifications reserves the right to review and amend units of assessment and will provide centres notification of the changes to the units of assessment.
