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 six of Scotland's leading universities; Aberdeen, Edinburgh Napier University, Glasgow School of Art, Heriot-Watt, Stirling and Strathclyde. 

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 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.
