Connor Pithie Student President

I decided I wanted a career change in 2023 and left full-time employment to study Animal Care at Dundee and Angus College. Two years later, I was elected as Student President and graduated with an HND in Animal Care. My time in the Students’ Association has made it clear to me how important colleges are for our community. I have heard many wonderful stories about how impactful college is at shaping people’s lives, and I believe everybody deserves the same opportunities that I have bene ted from as a student at this College. Our College provides people with the opportunity to make real change. Whether you’re looking to take that next step with your education, learn new skills, or meet new people; all of this and more can be achieved at D&A.

Articulation is when a student on an HNC or HND programme can progress into either year two (from HNC) or year three (from HND) of a degree at university. Our articulation agreements mean that students who have completed the relevant HNC/D can progress on to university without having to repeat a level of study.

We offer a range of full-time courses covering different subjects, vocations and career pathways that are designed to support your progression to higher level study with us or at university.

subject areas

Course disclaimer The College reserves the right to change course provision. The description of the College’s courses in its prospectus and on its website represents the College’s aspirations as to what will be delivered. However, for various reasons, the courses actually delivered may be different. For example: Funding for a course (whether from the Government or from the College’s charitable donations or other sources of income) may be reduced or withdrawn; there may be insuf cient interest in a course which means that it is uneconomic or unviable to deliver; there may be a change to the College’s other resources, such as staff or accommodation, which affect the delivery, or campus location, of a course (e.g. an HNC programme might be delivered on two campuses but an HND programme might be delivered on one campus only). A change could involve the replacement of a course with a new course, variations to course content or structure, the merger of courses, or the withdrawal of a course. The College may make a change to a course for the reasons set out above, or for other reasons where it is reasonable for the College to do so. If there is a change to a course about which you have expressed an interest, the College will let you know as soon as possible. By expressing an interest about a course to the College, you agree to these rules about changes to courses. A wide range of courses designed to improve your future study and employment prospects.
