  15. Young people in S3 this year will have the opportunity of being presented for 6 qualifications in S4, 6 in S5 and 6 in S6 – leading to at least 18 qualifications over the three years of the senior phase • This revised model means we can use the same option form across S4-S6.

  16. Choosing a curriculum pathway?

  17. “The University of Aberdeen currently does not stipulate a minimum number of Standard Grade and/or Intermediate 2 qualifications. This will be extended to include National 5 subjects. “ “We remain committed to promoting a fair admissions policy to ensure we give equal consideration to candidates who apply on time and who possess the necessary knowledge and skills, irrespective of the route travelled through the Senior Phase, S4 to S6.” “In at least one of the Senior Phase years – S4 or S5 or S6, there is an expectation that a minimum of three Highers or Advanced Higher subjects are studied and presented for examinations.” University of Aberdeen Curriculum for Excellence Statement
