Exciting Developments in Access to HE: What’s New at Ascentis

Ascentis is committed to widening participation and transforming lives through Access to Higher Education. As the Access to HE landscape continues to evolve, we are proud to be introducing a range of exciting developments designed to enhance teaching, learning and learner support across the Access to HE suite.

Our developments include innovative digital learning, immersive sector-specific resources, and valuable opportunities for face-to-face engagement.

Introducing Spriing: Hybrid Learning for Access to HE

Our new hybrid learning platform, Spriing, will be available for the 2026–2027 academic year and represents one of our most significant developments to date. Purpose-built to support Access to HE delivery, Spriing offers centres flexible, engaging solutions that enhance both blended and face-to-face learning experiences.

Spriing brings together digital learning resources, interactive content and structured support to complement classroom-based teaching. Designed with both learners and centres in mind, the platform supports blended and hybrid models of delivery, helping providers respond to changing learner needs while maintaining the academic rigour of Access to HE Diplomas.

Immersive Learning Scenarios for Healthcare Access Diplomas

We are also developing a range of cutting-edge Access to HE Healthcare Pathways in partnership with Metaverse Learning, which feature immersive learning scenarios that are designed to bring learning to life by placing students in realistic, sector-relevant situations that reflect the challenges and decision-making they may encounter in healthcare settings.

Through interactive and applied learning, students can deepen their understanding of key concepts, develop critical thinking skills and gain insight into real-world healthcare practice. These immersive resources aim to strengthen progression into healthcare degrees and careers by bridging the gap between academic study and professional expectations.
