What is Widening Access?
-
Don’t think you can get to university?
-
Don’t have the right qualifications or any at all?
-
Never had the opportunity to go?
-
Working and not sure you can do it?
…then think again.
Over a third of our students come to us from college, as mature students or via other non-traditional routes.
Widening access to university means we look at your potential as a whole person, not just your grades. Here at Abertay we believe if you want to study, you CAN get a degree, whatever your background or situation.
