College Connect
With your Higher National Certificate (HNC), Higher National Diploma (HND) or access course underway, you are probably beginning to think about your next move and perhaps considering further study at university.
At Glasgow Caledonian, you will find that lots of our students have taken the step from college to university with us. We have plenty of full-time and part-time undergraduate degree courses to choose from and as a college student, you can gain direct entry into a programme.
Some HNCs and HNDs allow you direct entry into the second or third year of a university degree course at Glasgow Caledonian University. Look out for the Year 2 or Year 3 entry requirements on the individual course pages.
