read moreEvery year, increasing numbers of college students and other adult learners progress to degree-level study at university.
These learners arrive at university with a wide range of skills that enable them to succeed in their chosen course of study, but the transition poses certain challenges.
Since its inception in January 2002, On Track has been funded by the West of Scotland Wider Access Forum to address these challenges and enable students to enhance their success. Over the seven years of its lifetime, the programme has developed a wealth of transition support material and study skills resources as well as a bank of experienced tutors. Taken together, these tools allow us to offer a customised model of support to learners.
