Undergraduate

UWS Foundation Academy

This initiative gives senior school pupils in the west of Scotland the opportunity to study at university level, develop academic skills in a specific subject area, and improve the quality of their university application.

Successfully completing the programme, which takes place over years 5 and 6, pupils will be awarded 20-credits at SCQF level 7 and if they apply to UWS, we will consider this to be equivalent to an additional one Scottish Higher (Grade B).
