How does
the H.E. Compact work?
If students complete the
programme of extra study successfully, they will then be awarded up
to 40 H.E. Compact points which will be recognised as 40 extra UCAS
points by the Kent-based universities*. Once completed
successfully, students would then recieve extra consideration from
these universities.
Will it affect
my other studies?
The programme should
help with students other studies as it has been designed to fit in
with the way schools/colleges organise their tutorial timetables.
The skills gained from Strand One - Progression to Higher Education
- should benefit students in their A Level/BTEC or equivalent
studies as well as helping them to make a smoother transition to
university life.
Does it involve
a lot of extra work?
It does involve some
extra work - a rough estimation would be around one and a half
hours per week on average, over a two year period.
I'm planning to
apply to universities outside Kent - is it worth undertaking the
H.E. Compact Programme?
Although universities
outside Kent may not accept the H.E. Compact points as equivalent
to UCAS points, the H.E. Compact Programme will be seen as strongly
supporting a UCAS application.
* Please Note: the Open
University does not require UCAS points for
admission. |
