About LEAPS

LEAPS is a widening participation programme which aims to encourage and advise students who are traditionally under-represented in higher education. We support young people in South East Scotland, raising 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.

What's coming up?

Hybrid Working Update

The LEAPS team is very much still here to support you. We are currently working both from home and the office.

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.

S5 Introduction to Higher Education

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).

S3 On Campus Workshop

This workshop provides an early introduction to university and student life. With help from a university student, our ‘uni experts’, you will explore a university campus and discuss different topics including student accommodation, student societies and what studying is like at university.
