As a student enrolled on a SWAPWest access programme, you will be eligible to apply to a broad range of degree courses with our university partners, as outlined in the Progression Routes documents linked below. The Preparation for Higher Education unit included in every SWAP programme will provide you with information and support to research your options.
Progression routes include information about the minimum SWAP student profile grades required for entry to each of the degree courses on offer.
If you are interested in applying for a SWAP programme and you would like to know which partner degrees you can apply to, then it is best to discuss with your local college or contact the SWAP office:

Progression Routes 2024-25
The routes below were applicable to last year's cohort (2024-25). As you read through them, please keep in mind that universities may add or remove degree courses from year to year or they may change the entry requirements. New routes for 2025-26 will be published here in October; your class tutor will let you know when they become available. In the meantime, you can refer to the older publications to get a general idea of the courses on offer.
