The College also offers defined routes to degree courses in partnership with 15 higher education institutions across Scotland and beyond, with HNC and HND courses allowing students to progress directly to second or third year of a university course.
These routes give those living in Fife local access to degree studies, cutting down on travel or accommodation costs that may be applicable if they studied elsewhere.
It also allows for more flexibility, with College students able to take their studies a year at a time.
