Do your Degree Differently
Our degree courses starting in August/September 2025 are now live for applications
We offer a range of degree courses in partnership with four of Scotland's leading universities; Aberdeen, Heriot-Watt, Stirling and Strathclyde. This approach to learning meets the needs of future employers by creating 'work ready' graduates.
These innovative courses provide students with the opportunity to study at the College for the first two years then progress to the partner university for their final years - getting the best of both worlds from the two institutions with a dual student status.
We also offer an Associate Student Scheme with Edinburgh Napier University and Glasgow School of Art.
This scheme allows students to enrol with the relevant university and take part in a planned programme to support their transition to university study, whist also gaining access to a range of student services.
Benefits of studying your degree this way
- Study locally, reducing living and travel costs
- Smaller class sizes with more one-to-one time with lecturers
- Focus on practical lab and technical skills
- An opportunity to build confidence before going to university
- Develop the skills to become industry ready
- Full university status from day one
- The programmes are supported by key industry partners and employers
