The Advanced Higher Hub is GCU’s flagship educational bridging programme that provides young people with the opportunity to study Advanced Highers which are not on the curriculum in their own schools. GCU is the first university in Scotland to develop this kind of transition programme, employing teachers to deliver eight subjects on campus, providing ambitious pupils from across the city with first-class educational facilities and opportunities to learn, and helping them to access high demand undergraduate courses that require Advanced Highers for entry.

This unique year-long university experience also equips young people with the life and learning skills that will help them to transition successfully to higher education and, crucially, retain their place once there.

The Hub is committed to raising aspirations and widening access to higher education for pupils in the city, and has consistently achieved outstanding pass rates across all subjects since its launch in 2013. In 2019, the Hub realised an overall pass rate of 91% with three subjects achieving 100%.
