D&A College Prospectus 2025-26

the place to make your mark

Always wanted to study for a degree but haven’t found a way to get the qualifications you need? We offer a range of full-time courses covering different subjects, vocations and career pathways that are designed to support your progression to higher level study with us or at university. Many of these courses incorporate SWAP. The Scottish Wider Access Programme (SWAP) is a partnership between colleges and universities to support access to higher education for adults.

We have a wide range of articulation agreements with universities across Scotland, covering over 350 possible routes from college to university. Articulation is when a student on an HNC or HND programme can progress into either year two (from HNC) or year three (from HND) of a degree at university. Our articulation agreements mean that students who have completed the relevant HNC/D can progress on to university without having to repeat a level of study. Each year hundreds of D&A students go from college to university.
