You could access microsoft access databases from a Mac using other apps than microsoft access. A quick search on google would give you a few results. But if what your actually want is to use and learn access itself, I would recommend setting up a Virtual machine on you Mac, or a Bootcamp partition. Microsoft Office Access is not available for Mac but there are plenty of alternatives that runs on macOS with similar functionality. The most popular Mac alternative is LibreOffice - Base, which is both free and Open Source.
