“By creating we think, by living we learn” Patrick Geddes
We’re a national project funded by the Scottish Funding Council encouraging and supporting young people to consider and apply to University degrees in the so-called ‘High Demand’ Professions. These are Medicine, Dentistry, Law and Child Nursing.
If you are in S4-6 and considering one of these Professions, Reach could help you explore them and gain more information and practical tasters of the Professions and the degrees leading to them.
In Tayside Reach is co-ordinated by the University of Dundee, but we have staff at Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow and St. Andrews University and work in partnership with these institutions.
We aim to offer interested pupils a chance to gain an insight into studying and practising these disciplines by organising events and activities on campus, at schools and online. We also offer support in making your application to University and performing well at interview.
Events and activities offered by Reach include:
Reach Tayside works with S4-6 pupils from 17 target schools in the area (please see list of schools on the right-hand side of the page). If you are not at one of these schools but are interested in taking part, please contact reach@dundee.ac.uk to confirm your eligibility.
Reach especially encourages young people from ‘non-traditional’ backgrounds to consider Higher Education study. If you are from a first-in-family, foster care, young carer, or low income background, we’d like to hear from you!
