Our Widening Participation (WP) team works with young people who live in a priority postcode, are care experienced or attend low progression state schools in Scotland. Our aim is to help young people to understand what studying a visual creative degree is like and enable them to build a diverse and interesting portfolio of work for application to college or university programmes.

All of our activities are free of charge and take place in the evening, at weekends and during school holidays, so as not to clash with the school timetable. We provide impartial specialist advice to young people for every stage of the application process to higher education. This includes UCAS personal statement support, digital portfolio guidance, an interview support workshop and one-to-one mock interviews. For those who choose to study at the GSA and are successful in gaining a place, we offer transitional support. More information can be on our website.
