Course summary
The FE-HE Pathway to Arts provides a supported transition to university study for students studying alternative qualifications at further education colleges across Scotland.
Our flexible degree structure allows students to benefit from additional support and guidance in their first years of university before progessing directly into year three of any one of the honours degrees offered in the Faculty of Arts.
This programme is only open to those who meet at least one of the specific eligibility criteria below as well as the academic entry requirements.
