Exam results day help from Fife College

Every year in August, thousands of school pupils in Scotland receive their exam results, so many young people may be feeling a little nervous about the next step in their journey.

Pupils in Fife, who have now completed their school studies, will be getting ready to leave school life behind, perhaps going off in a separate direction from others in their class.

All of this can make it feel like the end of a journey for many. But this isn’t the case, the journey towards a dream career is only just beginning!

Whether that means continuing to study, perhaps towards a degree, or entering vocational training or an apprenticeship, it is important to continue to develop knowledge and skills.

For those who may not sure be sure what to do next, or who may see their plans change once they receive their exam results, there is no need to panic!

Fife College is on hand

There are lots of options available and Fife College is on hand to help anyone who may be looking to explore an alternative route after getting their exam results – whether or not you have already applied for a Fife College course.

Clearing offers many applicants the opportunity to secure a place at Fife College. The Admissions Team will be busy on exam results day, contacting those who have already received an offer to study at Fife College. If you have achieved the exam results you needed to meet your conditional offer of a place at Fife College – then congratulations, you’re in!

If you didn’t achieve the exam results you were hoping for, don’t worry! The Admissions team will be available all week to help. They will review your original application, along with Academic members of staff, to assist you where possible in securing a place on an alternative course, starting at the end of August.

Still time to apply

It’s also worth remembering that it isn’t too late to apply for a course at Fife College. There is a wide range of courses across all subject areas which are still open for applications, but places are filling up fast, so don’t delay! You can browse all courses starting at the end of August on the Fife College website

Everyone is different, with their own unique goals and aspirations, which is why Fife College has such an excellent range of courses across many areas, whatever the level of study, from access and introductory level through to HNC/Ds and degrees.

With the ongoing cost of living crisis, studying locally at college can be a great way to cut down on ever-increasing travel or accommodation expenses that might be incurred studying further afield.

As well as being local and affordable, studying at Fife College is more flexible too, with full-time, part-time, online and weekend/evening study options all available. Personal situations can change over time, so it’s reassuring to know that there’s no need to commit to four years’ study upfront – you could complete a degree with Fife College, in exactly the same amount of time as you would at university, with the added bonus of adding a recognised qualification to your C.V. for every year of study.

So, whether your goal is studying towards a degree, learning a trade or taking on a Modern Apprenticeship (MA), or heading into employment after college, Fife College provides the support, facilities, and expertise to ensure that everyone is supported in their education journey, no matter what path they take.
