S6 Post-UCAS Application Resource
This resource is for LEAPS-eligible students who have applied to university and provides an overview of the post-UCAS application process, including the different types of UCAS offers, how to respond to them, finance, post-application visit days and potential college applications.
This resource is usually available from January.
(For Group 1+, Group 1 and Group 2 schools)
S6 Workshop
Our S6 Workshop is an informal, relaxed session where you can chat to current university students about any aspect of your transition from school to university – academic, social, moving away, anything you want to explore. To help you with this, there will be a ‘menu’ of possible conversation topics you can select from, or you’re welcome to add your own conversation topic. It is also the chance to network and make connections with new people. As well as meeting our student volunteers, there will be the chance to meet students from other schools going to different universities and colleges across Scotland. You might meet someone applying to the same place as you!
The S6 Workshop usually takes place between January and March.
(For Group 1+ and Group 1 Schools)
LEAPS Transitions Course
The LEAPS Transitions Course is designed to give you the skills and experience you need to make a positive transition from school to university.
Throughout the course you will work with academics and students from other schools on first-year university-level academic skills, developing your confidence and an understanding of what it takes to be successful at university. This is a unique opportunity to get the ‘uni’ experience before starting it for real.
If you choose to take this course, it will form one option on your S6 school timetable and will run from September until Easter of your S6 school year.

Please also note, participation in the course is subject to approval by each school.
