Live Chat: Widening Participation

Join Leeanne McKenna and Rickie McNeill from our Widening Participation team for a live Q+A.

Our dedicated Widening Participation team delivers a year-round programme of activities for eligible young people. Studying at university is a great experience and we want to make sure that the people we work with have access to the information and experiences they need in order to choose the courses which are best suited to them based on their interests, aptitudes and future career ambitions.

The goal of our Widening Participation programme is to help the young people we work with to build a strong portfolio for application to college or art school and to support them into the next step of their educational journey. Eligible pupils can start working with us when they begin S4 and continue with our programme all the way through to S6. All of our activities are free of charge and take place as far as possible in the evening, at weekends and during school holidays, so they don’t clash with the school timetable.
