Online applications for 2024/25 are now open!
Our Pre-entry Access Course has been designed to reflect the increased use of a blended learning approach in undergraduate teaching. Student feedback and working closely with academic staff have influenced and shaped the enhanced offering which combines the best of online and face-to-face teaching. We now offer an enhanced course with a blended learning format, revised assessment and greater subject choice.
Your future starts here!
What is the Pre-Entry Access Course?
Would you like to study for a university degree but don’t have the necessary qualifications? Maybe you have been away from full-time education for a long time?
We’re here to help.
Our Pre-entry Access Course is designed to help people get into university degree programmes. We help people from a range of backgrounds with different learning needs and objectives, including:
> those with no qualifications
> those with qualifications that are out of date (normally more than five years old)
> those interested in finding out what university-style study is like before applying for full-time study.
To be eligible for entry, at least three years must have elapsed since you left school or full-time education. This is because our experience indicates that such a period allows people to develop their abilities in time management and “juggling” various commitments. In addition, it allows you time to decide upon your chosen study route and formulate your career aspirations. It is therefore important that you have adequate work or life experience outside the school system.
The University is committed to Widening Access and in line with Scottish Government policy, prioritise students who reside within the bottom 40% of the most deprived areas in Scotland as outlined by the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD). Further information can be accessed at the University's Widening Access webpages.
The course aims to equip you with the necessary skills for undergraduate study within the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences and the Business School, as well as familiarising you with studying at a university.
