RGU: CenSa – College Link Programme
The Degree Link programme is offered by the Robert Gordon University
and partner Colleges on a 2+2 basis. This means that students, who
successfully complete a relevant Higher National Diploma (HND) course
over 2 years at College, are guaranteed access to the third year of
the appropriate University degree course. Where a College offers a
course to Higher National Certificate (HNC) level only, then you may
be offered a place on a 1+3 basis, with a one-year HNC at College
providing access to second year of a Degree at RGU.
This programme has the obvious financial benefits of allowing you to
study closer to home for the first two years, but with the advantage
of knowing that a University place is available to you on completion
of your College course.
