About LEAPS

LEAPS is a widening participation programme which aims to encourage and advise students who are traditionally under-represented in higher education. We work with young people in South East Scotland, supporting their aspirations and providing impartial advice about higher education. We currently work with state secondary schools throughout South East Scotland, supporting pupils who match LEAPS eligibility criteria.

S5 Presentation

This presentation explains who the LEAPS team is, what we do, and also outlines LEAPS eligibility criteria. The session is for students who may have the potential to go on to higher education and provides an overview of what higher education is, including key information relating to entry qualifications, application procedures, exit points and articulation (moving from college to university study).
