- It is available to students in Northern Ireland in years 13 and 14 in school and in FE Colleges and to post-16 students in the Republic of Ireland.
More choice, more options
There are over 60 exciting modules to choose from, everything from web design to writing fiction, giving students the ideal way to extend their knowledge of their AS or A level subjects /Highers and Advanced Highers in Scotland/ Welsh Baccalaureate in Wales or try something totally new.
For students planning to go to university, the extra study can help their UCAS applications to stand out. Or better still, they can use their module as the first stepping stone to getting a top degree with us.
It’s no surprise that more than 4,000 students in over 600 institutions across the UK are already choosing YASS to help them fulfil their ambitions!
