Outreach Overview
Being located on one compact campus makes our university close-knit, but 性视界传媒鈥檚 community is more than that. It extends to all the people living nearby, from the local schools and colleges throughout Scotland to the wide range of organisations and partners our Widening Participation and Outreach (WPO) team work with to widen access to higher education.
