You can study the
first two years of your

before progressing to
third and fourth year
at university?*

Make Fife College Your First
Step Towards Getting a Degree
If you want to study for a degree, coming to college can
be the ideal place to start. It allows you to enter at a
level that you feel comfortable at and progress one step
at a time, gaining recognised qualifications along the
way. It can also help you develop independent study and
research skills in a supportive environment.
Fife College offers defined articulation routes
to degree programmes in partnership with a wide
range of universities. By working in partnership with
these universities, we make sure that the content of
our courses and our delivery are relevant and make
articulation possible. Choosing the college route to
a degree qualification means that by successfully
completing your Higher National (HN) course (either
HNC or HND), you receive a recognised qualification,
with each year contributing towards your chosen
degree.* This means there is no need to repeat a year
or re-learn the same things – an important point to
bear in mind when considering the funding available for
Higher Education study.
Universities endorse the college route and readily
welcome students with appropriate qualifications from
college. Some of our agreements with universities even
guarantee a number of our students a place on degree
courses at university.
Studying for your HNC/D at college gives you more
options than going straight to university. If a job
opportunity comes up that is too good to pass up,
you have the qualifications to pursue it. College offers
manageable chunks of study and also provides flexibility
in the event that your circumstances change, giving you
the opportunity to continue with your degree on a parttime basis if that is what you decide to do.
We also offer a range of franchise degrees. These
degrees are delivered entirely at Fife College, in
partnership with our partner universities. See our
Franchise Degrees section for more information.

“Juggling family life with study and work was the
biggest challenge for me. I nearly left in the first few
weeks thinking it wasn’t for me, but Fife College staff
encouraged me to stay and I’m so glad that I did
because I loved it. Being able to study locally was a
huge benefit, as my youngest son was only 2 when I
started studying.
“As part of my course, I gained work experience on
a site in St Andrews with Robertson Construction,
working alongside the Project Manager which was
extremely useful.”
“Having 3rd year delivered by the same lecturers I had
got to know over the previous two years really helped me
and my classmates excel. It allowed for a much closer
relationship and, because the classes at college were
smaller than the typical lecture at uni, it was easier to
discuss and understand the more difficult topics raised.
“Living in Glenrothes, the classes were very
convenient and I had easy access to college
resources. I really enjoyed my time at Fife College;
it developed me as a person and gave me the skills
needed to pursue my career.”
“What is an
articulation
route?”
4 | Think Fife College | www.fife.ac.uk
What is an articulation route?
An articulation route is a pathway between an HNC or
an HND and a degree programme. The route is agreed
between the college and a university and is reviewed
annually to ensure that it is still valid.
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 develop independent study and research
skills in a supportive setting.
In some cases, this may be a formal agreement between
the college and the university where direct entry to
year 2 or 3 of a university degree is possible, following
successful completion of an appropriate HN course.
To take advantage of an articulation agreement you need
to ensure that the HN course you choose progresses to
the degree course that you ultimately want to study, as in
most cases only certain HN courses offer articulation to
specific degree programmes.
And remember, even if you apply for a course with an
articulation agreement in place, the university may still
make you a conditional offer. For example, this offer
may stipulate that you will be required to pass your HN
qualification and may also specify a minimum grade
required in your graded unit.
What if I change my mind and want to study a
different degree after my HND?
You do not have to progress to one of the degree
courses specified in the agreement, but if you apply for
a non-articulating course then you will need to have all
the entry requirements as specified in the university’s
prospectus and your application will be considered along
with all others received by the university. You will also
only be able to enter the course in year 1. This is an
important point to bear in mind as, if you have studied for
an HND, you may not have enough funding left to cover
the fees for your entire degree.
Fife College will make sure that you receive the support
you need to make the right decision for your future and
select the right degree for your chosen career.
What are the benefits of articulation?
Studying an HNC or HND with Fife College then
progressing to a degree course at university allows you
to study locally, enabling living, study and travel costs to
be kept to a minimum.
Articulation allows you to progress from college into the
corresponding year at university, meaning there is no
need for you to repeat a year or re-learn the same things.
You are able to keep moving forward in your studies
which is important when considering funding for Higher
Education study.
Some courses also offer an Associate Student
Programme and you would sign up to this programme
early on in your HN course. Becoming an Associate
Student means that you could potentially attend some
university events or lectures, have access to university
library facilities and the chance to experience a university
culture whilst studying at college. In addition, summer
school and work experience or placements may be
available. There are slight differences in the schemes
offered by universities - you will be given information
about these differences at the beginning of your HN
course and you can sign up where applicable. In some
cases, this can guarantee you a place at university on a
specific course if you satisfy the entry requirements.
What universities have Articulation Agreements with
Fife College?
Fife College has Articulation Agreements in place with the
following universities:
University of Aberdeen
Abertay University
University of Dundee

Building on your HN with The Open University (OU)
Support available from partner universities
Fife College offers collaborative degree opportunities in
partnership with The Open University where you attend
classes at Fife College during your period of study (see our
Degree Opportunities section). But did you know, you can
also use your HN qualification to progress to other degrees
at the OU?
Whilst you are studying on your HN course at college
you may have the opportunity to meet staff from several
of our partner universities. The university staff will offer
you the chance to participate in workshops that will help
you gain skills to help you with degree level study. It is
strongly recommended that you attend these sessions
as it will make your transition to university smoother
by ensuring that you have the necessary skills to join a
degree course in year 2 or 3.
Studying part-time with The Open University using their
unique ’open learning’ method provides flexibility in a
supported learning environment.
A BA or BSc degree with the OU could offer progression
from your current HNC or HND to a degree, while also
providing a flexible way for you to fit learning around your
life or work commitments.
OU courses are offered at different levels (levels
1, 2 and 3), and are mapped to the Scottish Credit
and Qualifications Framework (SCQF). An HNC is
the equivalent to OU study at Level 1, and an HND
encompasses both Level 1 and Level 2 study. Level 3
study at the OU is Honours Degree Level.
Topics offered in these workshops vary year on year, but
usually include themes such as: structuring your reports
and essays, using and evaluating sources, academic and
critical writing, oral presentations, ethical considerations,
and exam preparation and revision.
These workshops will be widely publicised across the
College, so be sure to look out for posters and flyers.
Remember, many of the skills you pick up at these
workshops may also be useful for your HN course, so
take advantage of them when you can.
Transferring credit from your HNC, HND
or SVQ qualification
Depending on what you’ve studied already, you may be
able to transfer credit from your previous studies and
begin studying for a degree at the OU at Level 2 or 3.
You can use your existing qualifications to transfer credit
and reduce the time it will take you to get a degree with
the OU.* To qualify for a degree, you need to accumulate
a minimum number of relevant credits. For a degree
without Honours, you need at least 300 credits and for
a degree with Honours, you need at least 360 credits.
You can use your HNC, HND or eligible SVQs as credits
towards the requirements of your chosen OU degree.
For more information on how you can use your
current qualifications toward an OU degree, and on
how the credit transfer system works, visit www.
open.ac.uk/choose/collegeroutes
*Please note, only HN units at SCQF Levels 7 and
8 are eligible for a credit transfer.
6 | Think Fife College | www.fife.ac.uk
You can claim credit transfer
for your HNC, HND or
eligible SVQs towards the
requirements of your Open
University degree – reducing
the time it will take to get a
degree with the OU.
Franchise Degrees
Franchise degrees allow you to study for your full degree
at Fife College without having to change institution.
Although you complete all 4 years of your degree at Fife
College, your degree is still awarded by the affiliated
university and you may be able to attend university
lectures and open days as an Associate Student.

“Studying for a degree locally was a great option as it
was less expensive than studying away from home. I was
delighted that Fife College offered such a great progression
route, which allowed me to complete my degree up to
Honours level at Fife College. It made such a difference
being able to continue studying at the same place.”

“I had been interested in fashion at school but didn’t

“I loved the course and being at Fife College – the
lecturers were great and provided lots of relevant

they gave us experience of fashion in a real setting. I
learned so many great skills that can be used in the

“It was brilliant to be able to progress into 3rd year at
