University Articulation. Dundee and Angus College has a successful and increasing range of agreements with HE partners locally and further afield to ensure that students have the opportunity to gain access, progress and articulate to degree programmes either within a joint programme of studies or by gaining advanced entry in years two or three. Since the academic year 2013/14, SFC introduced funding for additional places for fully articulated students with the specific intention of expanding the number of guaranteed places for students moving from College to University. Dundee and Angus College has benefitted from this scheme with ‘Associate Students’ of Abertay University and the University of Dundee studying at the College on the universities preferred 2 + 2 or 1 + 3 model. These students participate in classes both at College and at University and are jointly supported by both institutions. The continuation of the Associate scheme is welcomed by the College and will be used to support a further increase in the number of learners articulating with advanced standing to 60%. The College continues to work closely with our partner universities in Dundee, with clear communication and reporting processes established for the monitoring and review of programmes. This includes data sharing at registry level. During academic year 2018/19 the College will review and further develop articulation links and opportunities arising from the respective D&A and Abertay University curriculum review activities and outcomes. This will include our commitment to grow additional articulation provision in line with Scottish Government and Scottish Funding Council ambitions.

University Articulation. Dundee and Angus College will continue to work with its university partners to develop and agree a regional response for Tayside to meet these challenges. Specifically, Dundee and Angus College and its university partners will work towards a shared understanding of a number of key principles that will inform and shape future articulation arrangements. There will also be discussions on the potential for collaboration between Dundee and Angus College and its prospective partner universities in relation to growth in articulation in line with SFC directions and funding. To support this local and regional growth the College engages with other colleges, secondary schools, training providers and universities across the region and on a national basis to provide opportunities for seamless transition from local school through to Higher Education and in so doing, improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the learner journey.
