OPEN UNIVERSITY YASS MODULES    -  S6 Only

What is YASS?

Young Applicants in School Scheme (YASS) is an opportunity for S6 students in Scottish schools to bridge the gap between school and full time university.  Operated by The Open University in Scotland, YASS offers students a chance to study a wide range of first year university level modules in school alongside their other studies.

How much do I have to study?

Modules can last from 10 weeks to 40 weeks and are clearly structured with timetables and deadline.  However, studying with the OU gives you the flexibility to decide when and where you study.  Shorter modules normally require up to 10 hours of study per week, while a longer one can require up to 16 hours.

The benefits of YASS

Fully-funded places are available for 10, 15 and 30 credit modules.  

YASS is an opportunity for students to experience learning at university level and develops important skills such as independent study and time management.  

YASS students are treated just the same as other OU students.  They have access to the whole range of OU online learning resources, student and IT support, as well as guidance about course choice and careers.  

Taking a YASS module can help UCAS applications stand out and contribute valuable content to personal statements.
