The Science industry has been in the news a lot, from developing vaccinations to fighting against the climate emergency, and a skilled workforce is required for the future.
We offer a wide range of science courses, both part-time and full-time, from SCQF Level 4 -8. Our entry-level programmes provide an opportunity for progression onto our Level 6 courses for anyone who doesn’t have any previous experience in Chemistry or Biology.
Our courses provide a supportive environment in which to develop essential scientific skills to allow a smooth transition to Higher Education through one of our many established articulation routes. Our courses also provide an excellent opportunity to work within our labs to acquire practical skills required for working in industry.
I enjoyed everything about this course, from the very beginning until the end. The laboratory work - microbiology, chemistry, genetics - was my favourite. I’d known about techniques like PCR before, but here I finally got to perform them myself.
The reason I wanted to do this course was that I knew it would put me in a good position for applying to university.

College gave me the means to change direction and pursue a career in science. In fact, the job that I have now is one that I applied for after hearing about it through the College.
