Early enrolment helps If a course struggles to recruit students, it may have to be cancelled a week or two in advance of the fi rst class. This allows those who have enrolled to fi nd an alternative activity and also frees up badly-needed teaching space. If students can enrol at least two weeks before the starting date it helps us to keep courses running and plan the best use of teaching rooms.

Early enrolment helps If a course struggles to recruit students, it may have to be cancelled a week or two in advance of the fi rst class. This allows those who have enrolled to fi nd an alternative activity and also frees up badly-needed teaching space. If students can enrol at least two weeks before the starting date it helps us to keep courses running and plan the best use of teaching rooms.

Introducing ecology

Day: Tuesday Time: 11.00-13.00 Starts: 20 January 2015 (8 meetings)

The aim of this course is to introduce students to the principles of ecology. How plant and animal populations along with climate and landscape create unique eco systems. We will discuss the physical and biological factors that infl uence the distribution and population size of organisms. Drawing on examples from eco systems in Scotland the course will explore the concept of biodiversity, how it can be measured and importantly why it should be conserved. The course will be taught through talks, discussion and museum visit.

Access Programme

Access 2014 – 2015

Our Access students come from a wide range of backgrounds with all sorts of qualifi cations (some with none); but what unites them is that they have been out of full-time education for at least a couple of years and all have the desire to return to education – and to have the chance to go on to university. We offer three separate programmes:

Access to Arts and Social Sciences Access to Law, Business and Accountancy Access to Science, Engineering and Nursing

Depending on other previous experience students may also be able to apply for entry to a wide range of vocational degrees. The Access Programme is recognised for entry to degree study at most other universities. In all cases students concentrate on two subjects and attend twice a week.

Enrolment and fees for the Access Programme

Please apply using the Access application form, available online together with lots more information about the programmes at www.gla.ac.uk/courses/openstudies/accessprogramme.

For a few people it will be clear from the application form that Access is not their best way forward. All other applicants will be invited to come for an interview with a member of the Access team. In the interview we will aim to establish that Access is the best course for you, and to help you make the best choice of subjects. We will also want to discuss the demands placed by our part-time Access Programme and the need for good personal and time-management skills gained from wider life-experience.

Access classes begin Monday 22 September 2014

Course fees for the Access Programme are £425 for session 2014-15. The Access Programme is registered under the ILA200; other help with fees, including local bursaries, may also be available if receiving long-term benefi ts.
