Part-time, day and evening courses
Class times, locations, contacts, fees & general information
On the 1st November 2013, Aberdeen College and Banff & Buchan College merged to form North East Scotland College. The new North East Scotland College (NESCOL) now serves an extensive geographical area with its main centres of delivery in Aberdeen and Fraserburgh as well as learning centres in Ellon, Macduff, Inverurie and the Scottish Maritime Academy in Peterhead. The two Colleges, for many years, shared a commitment to provide the best opportunities for the people of Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire and had worked together on numerous projects and initiatives to fulfil that commitment. We now truly believe, as a single institution, we will be even better placed to do just that. By merging, North East Scotland College now has the opportunity to combine expertise, facilities and resources in a way that best serves the region. In this first NESCOL Part-time Guide, we have not only combined the Part-time courses traditionally offered by both institutions, but have enriched the curriculum offer in the community that we serve. Thank you for choosing North East Scotland College. TEL 0300 330 5550 EMAIL enquiry@nescol.ac.uk WEB www.nescol.ac.uk
