North East Scotland College – formerly Aberdeen College and Banff & Buchan College until merger in November 2013, is one of Scotland’s largest colleges and is the largest single local provider of further education in the North East of Scotland.
The College has a major role to play in meeting the vocational education and training needs of individuals, firms and communities. Its main hubs of delivery are located across Aberdeen, Fraserburgh and Peterhead with learning centres in Ellon, Inverurie and Macduff. The College recruits over 7000 full-time students each year across a wide range of vocational areas and a further 14,000 students enrol on part time and distance learning courses.
Students attending North East Scotland College, an Associate College of Robert Gordon University, are provided with enhanced progression and articulation opportunities into degree programmes. The College also has close working relationships with the city’s other university, the University of Aberdeen.
Working with Aberdeen City Council and Aberdeenshire Council, the College also provides opportunities for pupils at school to ease transition from school to College. More than 30% of all North-East school leavers progress to North East Scotland College.
The College operates over three schools:
- The School of Engineering, Science and Technology
- The School of Creative Industries, Computing and Business Enterprise
- The School of Service Industries
In addition:
