About the LEAPS Course Checker

The LEAPS team are here to provide information, advice and guidance to help you move forward with your college and university aspirations. Some university and college courses will require specific subjects at specific levels (e.g. National 5, Higher) for entry, and this may impact your S6 choices.

If you are an S5 student from one of our Group 1+ or Group 1 schools and you missed your LEAPS S5 Interview*, please complete our Course Checker form below for advice on your S6 subject choices and to ensure that your choices are keeping your options open for post-school plans. (If you had an S5 Interview but would like further advice, please instead email us on leaps@ed.ac.uk). 

*Note: Your S5 LEAPS Interview will be arranged by a guidance teacher at your school, between January to March 2024. Please don't complete the form if S5 Interviews have not yet taken place in your school. 

Once you have completed the Course Checker form, a member of the LEAPS team will get in touch with you by email to offer our advice as soon as we're able to.

(Please note the below Course Checker form is for S5 students from our Group 1+ and Group 1 schools only. We invite S5 LEAPS-eligible students from our Group 2 schools to complete our Group 2 schools Course Checker form. Thank you.)

Thanks,

The LEAPS Team

LEAPS Eligibility

LEAPS eligibility is not confirmed until you have your LEAPS pre-UCAS interview in S6, but it’s really helpful for us to have an idea of which LEAPS eligibility criteria you meet when answering your course checker query. 

You can find full details of LEAPS eligibility criteria here and LEAPS school groupings here if you want to check anything and if you're still unsure please contact us.
