What we're about
The top FIVE reasons why Aberdeen College is the right place to be...
1. We're the largest
We're the largest further education college outside of the central belt with over 30,000 enrolments each year. More students = more choices!
2. We've got fantastic facilities
We pride ourselves in having the most up-to-date facilities available for you. With one of the largest IT centres in Scotland, a state-of-the-art multimedia centre, hair and beauty salons, training restaurant and kitchens, fitness suites, travel centre, libraries, common rooms, cafés - you'll find it all at Aberdeen College.
We also have a brand new Music and Performing area, complete with its very own stage! In addition to the fabulous facilities at the Gallowgate Centre, we have a new £15million centre at Altens, which was opened in 2010, to house our construction crafts students.
3. We have levels to suit everyone
It doesn't matter what qualifications you leave school with - there are levels to suit everyone and opportunities to progress from Introductory Level courses to HNCs and HNDs.
4. We have excellent university links
Did you know that nearly all of our HN courses have direct articulation into university? So if you want to continue your studies to degree level you'll find that you can probably enter directly into year two or three of a degree course at any one of the ten universities we currently work with. We also have a unique partnership with RGU which will allow you to become an associate student through uni-link and enjoy access to the University's facilities and resources while at College.
5. We give you support
College is an excellent stepping stone from school to university or work. Although you are responsible for your own learning experience, support and guidance are still provided to help you along your way. Small classes, regular tuition, supportive guidance and a range of learning support are all part of the experience.
And if that wasn't enough...
We'll introduce you to some new friends and help you have some fun so that you'll enjoy your time with us!
