The aim of widening access is to ensure the benefits of higher education are available to all, regardless of their background. It also aims to make sure that those with the ability to take advantage of higher education have the opportunity to do so.
Widening access to university means we look at your potential as a whole person, not just your grades. Here at Abertay, we believe if you want to study, you CAN get a degree, whatever your background or situation.
Don’t think you can get to university?
Don’t have the right qualifications or any at all?
Never had the opportunity to go?
In employment and not sure you can do it?
…then think again.
Over a third of Abertay students come to us from college, as mature students or via other non-traditional routes.
