What is YASS?

The scheme explained

YASS offers able and motivated students an opportunity to get a taste of university study early through The Open University.

  • It is available to students in schools in Scotland in S6.

More choice, more options

There are over 60 exciting modules to choose from, everything from Galaxies, Stars and Planets  to An Introduction to Law in contemporary Scotland, giving students the ideal way to extend their knowledge of their Highers and Advanced Highers or try something totally new.

For students planning to go to university, the extra study can help their UCAS applications to stand out. Or better still, they can use their module as the first stepping stone to getting a top degree with us.

It’s no surprise that more than 500 students in over 90 schools in Scotland are already choosing YASS to help them fulfil their ambitions!
