Why Fife College could be for you

Studying an HNC, HND or both with Fife College is a fantastic way to progress your studies and enter Higher Education.

Fife College offers a wide range of HN courses in everything from Childcare to Engineering Systems. All of the HN courses have been designed to equip you with the specialist skills and knowledge you’ll need to improve your career prospects and/or take the step to university study.

HNs are ideal if you want to gain practical skills, knowledge and abilities. They allow you to gain hands-on experience in your chosen field and give you the option to then either build upon that in higher education or go into employment.

HNCs and HNDs offer a lot of flexibility. After each year of study, you will have gained a recognised and sought-after qualification; an HNC, then an HND.

This gives you the freedom to move into employment if the right opportunity comes up or to apply for degree courses with your HN qualification already in the bank, which also opens up the possibility of skipping a year or two at university.

College offers manageable chunks of study and provides flexibility in the event that your circumstances change.

Studying for an HNC or HND at Fife College lets you study locally, which in turn helps to keep living, study and travel costs to a minimum.

With the range of franchise degrees, you can even complete your studies in Fife. Franchise degrees allow you to study at BA/BSc level in the same environment and with the same staff as your HNs.

Studying at college can be the perfect bridge between school and university. It provides a similar level of study to university and allows you to experience smaller class groups and to develop independent study and research skills in a supportive setting.

Fife College works in partnership with many top universities to maintain articulation routes for their HN students. These routes mean that you can progress directly into year two or year three of a degree course at university with successful completion of an HNC or HND.

Fife College has articulation agreements in place with Aberdeen University, Edinburgh Napier University, Heriot-Watt University, Glasgow Caledonian University, Queen Margaret University, University of Sunderland, The Open University, University of the West of Scotland. It is also working towards agreements with Abertay University, Dundee University, Robert Gordon University, Stirling University, University of the Highlands and Islands.

By working with these universities, Fife College continues to develop further articulation opportunities to ensure its offering continues to be relevant to its students.

Fife College has a wide range of courses and works alongside several universities to develop opportunities for its students.
