Lancaster Access Program 2024

I received an email confirming my place on the Lancaster access program and wanted to see if anyone else was also doing it?

same here!
May I ask you whether you are in year 12 or 13? btw I am a year 13 student.

Can I ask what sort of alternative offer you’ve been made if you complete the programme. It says maximum of 3 grades lower on the website. This would be for geography. Thank you!

Hi @Anony1006
As Tyler's already said, by completing the program you can get a grade reduction of up to 3 grades. Therefore, the BA and Bsc in Geography require ABB so the lowest offer you could get would be BCC.
I also found the program really useful in preparation for university, as it covers study skills and gives an overview about what university learning is like, as well as the residential experience giving you the opportunity to experience what university life is like. If you have any more questions about the program, feel free to ask!

Hello Everyone,

I am a participant of the Lancaster access programme who joined in year 12 and now has moved into year 13. i was wondering if there have been any 2024 events available. since i cannot seem to find any links of sort in the LAP portal.

Thank you

Thanks Jasmine

Can I ask how they decide on the grade reduction? Also, I’ve heard you get credit towards completing the LAP by attending events etc. does the LAP take a lot of time up (as I am in Y13).

Thank you!

They’ve had the launch event for the program - it was on Saturday. Did you not get any emails about the program? Maybe you had to reapply to it I’m not sure

I heard it was in person event so i was not able to attend. I'm just waiting for other planned events and their links to apply to them. Do you have any idea on that? (thank you for replying). If anyone wants to know about the grade reductions. yes of course it true, I recently got my UCAS updated for my Lancaster offer and it says if i complete the programme my requirement will drop from AAB to BBC.

They said that they’ll be sending out information next week to get into the portal - there’ll be online activities on there that we need to complete. They’ve got a couple more in person events too planned that we sign up for through the portal.

Hello, I would like to know how long it will take to complete the Lancaster access program as a y13 student in September. I have not joined yet however I am eligible. I want to join this program as i really want to study biomedical science however as of right now my predicted grades are BBB. I saw that the entry requirements are AAB with ucas saying most get in with ABB. I saw that the program reduces the offer to likely BBB or BBC. i really want to complete the program before I apply to Lancaster university so I can get the offer.
