Around a third of 91快活林 students come to us from college, having done an HNC or an HND first. This means we know exactly what you need, and how to support you when you come to us.
In some cases, this means you can start many Abertay degrees in second year with a relevant HNC, or in third year with a relevant HND.

Everyone needs a helping hand at some point, so we provide support to help make your transition from college to university go smoothly.
If you need help with anything, whether it鈥檚 a personal, financial or academic issue, we'll help as much as we can.听In fact, we provide free support and guidance over your entire time here - from before you arrive, right through to graduation.
When you join us in Year 2, you'll do a microcredential module (a short course) designed specifically for students coming from college.
This helps you really understand how Abertay works, get to grips with the systems and processes of the University, what to expect from the learning experience, and how to develop the key skills you鈥檒l need.
You can also choose from a range of modules such as 'academic writing', 'career planning' and 'research skills' as the years progress.
If you have any questions or would like to know more about these modules, please email studyskills@abertay.ac.uk.听

Certain courses at Dundee and Angus College are part of DUAL 鈥� a partnership which allows more college students to progress to university. DUAL works differently from the usual college-to-university route. As a DUAL student, you鈥檒l begin on a linked course at Dundee and Angus College and on successful completion automatically progress onto year 2 or 3 of the matching Abertay degree, with full Abertay student status throughout.
| College course | Abertay Pathway | Entry point |
| HNC Civil Engineering | MEng/BEng (Hons) Civil Engineering | Year 2 |
| HNC Architectural Technology | MEng/BEng (Hons) Civil Engineering | Year 2 |
| HND Business | BA (Hons) Business Management (All Pathways) | Year 3 |
| HND Computer Arts & Design | BA (Hons) Computer Arts | Year 3 |
| HND Computing Software Development | BSc (Hons) Computing | Year 3 |
As a DUAL student, you'll benefit from:
A dedicated mentor during your HNC or HND
A dedicated Student Success Coach in Years 3 and 4 of your degree
Abertay student status from the first day of your college course
Access to Abertay's sports and social facilities
Full access to the Abertay Library, including borrowing rights
Invitations to events exclusively for DUAL students
An Abertay student ID card and IT account
To join DUAL, you must:
Be enrolled on an eligible Dundee and Angus College course
Have lived in Scotland for at least three years
Have SAAS-funding for your tuition fees
If you meet the eligibility criteria and would like to become a DUAL student, talk to your Dundee and Angus College interviewer during the recruitment process or your lecturer at the beginning of your course. Places on each pathway are limited, so it鈥檚 best to register your interest as early as possible.
You can still complete your HNC or HND at Dundee and Angus College and progress to university through other articulation routes.
