Young Applicants in Schools Scheme (YASS)
The Young Applicants in Schools Scheme (YASS) provides S6 students with the unique opportunity to study a range of university level modules in school alongside their other studies. YASS is designed to bridge the gap between school and university, college or employment and helps motivated students stand out from the crowd. Registration for YASS modules are organised through school, although students deal directly with the Open University when it comes to their course work and assessment.

It is important to let your Guidance teacher know if you are wishing to take a college course or YASS course during your 1-1 meeting as there is a short application form that needs to be completed for each.
