Do you know learners who would like to take the first steps into higher education?
To open up higher education, The Open University in Wales is offering a number of free places on the People, work and society Access course for people living in Communities First and other priority areas in Wales. This project is funded by the three Reaching Wider partnerships in Wales.
After completing the Open University course, students will be able to either continue their studies with The Open University or will be guaranteed an interview at one of the partner institutions.
Places for this project are limited so please apply as soon as possible.
Eligibility criteria apply. Learners will need to live in Communities First areas or other priority postcodes.
Those who aren’t eligible for this project, but are on a low household income may be able to secure funding for study with The Open University.
