FOCUS West (Focus On College and University Study – West of Scotland) is part of the national Schools for Higher Education Programme and is based in Glasgow. It works in 37 schools in the west of Scotland (including Calderhead) and is funded by the Scottish Funding Council.

FOCUS West’s job is to move more pupils into Higher Education, whether this is direct to university, or going to college first to study for a Higher National Qualification. It works on behalf of ALL universities and colleges in the west of Scotland and its work is therefore not connected to one university or one college.

It provides free activities for targeted pupils in each year from S3 to S6 and the programme is delivered by staff and students from colleges and universities in the west of Scotland, and provides pupils with an exciting opportunity to experience college and university, meet current students and take part in interesting, challenging and relevant activities.
