Abertay University welcomes students from Fife College

+ = Degree in 4 years

Build up your HNC/HND from Fife College to a degree at Abertay University.

Starting at college and then finishing at university takes no more time to get your degree than if you’d started at university from the outset.

Four years of study: That’s four years in total at college and university to get a degree. You lose no time and SAAS will continue to pay your tuition fees, provided you meet their usual eligibility rules around funding. (Normally you get four years in total and have to keep passing).

Fife College and Abertay University can offer students this opportunity because we work together to make sure the content of our courses match each other in the first and second years of study.

If you successfully complete any of the Fife College courses on pages 2-4, you should be able to progress to the corresponding Abertay University degree programme.

The advantages are: • You get direct entry into Abertay - straight into year 2 if you have an HNC, or year 3 for a HND. • You don’t repeat any material.

• You finish your Honours degree after four years in total (college and university together), exactly the same as if you’d started university from scratch.

When do I have to make a decision?

If you want to progress from HNC or HND into a degree at Abertay University, you have to apply though UCAS (www.ucas.com).

The deadline for applications is 15 January every year, if you’re planning to join Abertay when the university year starts in September.

That means you should start considering applying: • soon after you begin an HNC, as you’ll spend 1 year at Fife and 3 years at Abertay • at the beginning of year 2 of an HND, as you’ll spend 2 years at Fife and 2 years at Abertay.
