A degree is an advanced qualification and normally associated with a university education. They normally last for three to four years of full-time study, but this can be longer part-time. The last one or two years of a four year degree are often taken as Honours years, where study is taken to a higher level than for an degree. In partnership with Napier University you can now start your degree education right here in West Fife. For more information please download our Guide to Degree Study. We've helped hundreds of learners fulfil their ambition to go to university.  Are you one of the many people today who aspire to a degree qualification to support your own confidence and credibility in a professional role?
