Access for Rural Communities

Access for Rural Communities 

Access for Rural Communities (ARC) is a pioneering project aimed at supporting and enabling young learners on their journey into university. The ARC project provides online opportunities for S4 to S6 pupils to explore higher education via weekly tutoring sessions, information and guidance sessions, and subject taster sessions. Learners on the ARC programme will be eligible to apply for the S4 Summer School. 

S4 Summer School 

Applications are welcome from S4 pupils who will progress to S5 after the summer break. This year the S4 Summer School will be held from Thursday 30 May to Sunday 2 June 2024. Please apply below for the Summer School.

In previous years, the University of St Andrews has covered the cost of transport, accommodation, and meals over the course of four days and three nights.  

The summer school is an opportunity to explore subjects offered at the University of St Andrews and to network with other learners from rural communities across Scotland. 

S5 Summer School 

S5 pupils are encouraged to apply to the Sutton Trust summer school programme.
