Coming from college usually means you get your HNC or HND first, or an access course like SWAP or OU Choices, then you join one of our degree courses.
Around a third of our students come from college and start in Year 2 with a relevant HNC, or Year 3 with their HND. Crucially, you still do your degree in four years, with either one or two years at college first.
The list of our degrees eligible for this, which year you would start in, and the certificate/diploma grade(s) you need are all here under 'Entry requirements* from College'.
*If you're not sure what Entry Requirements are, check out the bottom of the widening access support and information page.
Find out how your Access, OU Choices, HND or HNC course could bring you to Abertay.
Students come to us with a wealth of skills, experience and qualifications, so you can also find details of alternative entry routes.
Here are the relevant HNCs and grades you need for entry to an Abertay degree.
Applicants from our partner colleges (Al-Maktoum, Dundee & Angus, and Fife) should contact their college for detailed guidance about how to apply for our degrees.
