About YASS
YASS is The Open University (OU) in Scotland’s national bridging programme for S6 pupils. It offers pupils the opportunity of studying Open University level 1 courses (SCQF level 7) in school alongside their other studies. The programme is designed to help develop a range of skills and knowledge that will support the transition from school to university, college or the workplace. YASS is uniquely placed as a bridging activity that has full geographical reach. It is open to every secondary school in Scotland and participation is not limited by minimum numbers. Since it was launched in 2007, all 32 education authorities in Scotland have had schools participating in YASS and over 7,500 students have studied a YASS course.

Cost
There is no cost to the school or the pupil. YASS is fully funded by the Scottish Funding Council (SFC) and is completely free for pupils in local authority schools.
