Overview
Fair Access offer a range of interactive online resources which are accessible in your own space and time, regardless of where you live.
Each resource focuses on a specific artform or development area and has been prepared by an industry expert to ensure high-quality learning. They include information, videos, tasks and links to further resources which might be of interest to you.
The resources are free to any young person in Scotland who meets our Fair Access Criteria.

About Fair Access
The purpose of Fair Access is to help people from the most deprived communities in Scotland have the same chance at entering Higher Education as someone from the least deprived areas. We mainly work with those aged 16-21+ who are statistically less likely to attend university.
We provide eligible individuals, schools, communities and professionals with a wide range of activity, including:
- Outreach
- Professional development for teachers
- Supportive artist and partnership projects
Our main aim is to help young people from a Fair Access background prepare for Higher Education at RCS. This helps us to ensure wider societal representation at our institution and in the creative industries.
