One of 4 wider access forums helping to deliver national priorities locally
The South East Forum (SEF) is a unique partnership of 18 colleges and Universities across the South East of Scotland to widen access to college and university.
The South East Forum’s aim is to improve the life chances of disadvantaged groups for a more successful and inclusive Scotland; placing learners at the centre of our thinking and adding value to the good work of others in the spirit of collaboration and partnership.
On Thursday 28th January 2010 The University of Stirling hosted a reception to mark the 21st birthday of the Scottish Wider Access Programme.
In those 21 years, more than 30,000 adults from all over Scotland have been helped to realise their dream of studying at university, thanks to collaboration between SWAP partners and the dedication of the college tutors.
