Higher Education Contacts Parents’ and Carers’ Information Session March 2021
Higher Education Contacts Parents’ and Carers’ Information Session March 2021 Over the next few slides we have shared some contact details for higher education institutions. A note about university entrance qualifications and contextual factors; If you, or your child, is contacting universities to discuss entry qualifications, we suggest you mention LEAPS eligibility when making your enquiry. Some students will be eligible for a lower (minimum) offer on the basis on contextual factors. LEAPS eligibility sometimes, but not always, counts towards this, as do other factors – for example, school attended, postcode, or experience of care. Universities may call this contextual admissions, adjusted offers or widening access and they all have further details on their websites. LEAPS offer individualised advice and guidance before students submit a UCAS application, so we can explore where students may be eligible for contextual offers. LEAPS University Partners email addresses Edinburgh Napier University [email protected] Heriot-Watt University Edinburgh [email protected] Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC) [email protected] Queen Margaret University [email protected] University of Edinburgh [email protected] LEAPS University Partners - resources for parents and carers Edinburgh Napier University .
