Hear from our former AHEAD students, who have since went on to pursue a degree and graduate from Abertay University.
Now that I've completed my degree, with first class honours, and secured a postgraduate job in the field I was studying, I realise that all of this happened because of the AHEAD programme. I would definitely recommend to anyone who's thinking about applying!
The AHEAD programme gives you the skills and confidence to believe that getting a degree is an achievable goal, which some people—including myself at one point—may not think is for them. Applying and getting onto the AHEAD programme changed the whole trajectory of my life!
