Associate Degree

Newbattle Abbey College and Queen Margaret University have developed a new way to achieve a degree. As an Associate Student, you will be fully enrolled as a QMU student from day one, but you will study the first year of your degree course at Newbattle Abbey College to complete an HNC.

Our one year full-time HNC Social Sciences is an Associate Student Scheme, run in partnership with QMU. Students who successfully complete this course will progress to Year 2 in certain undergraduate programmes at QMU. This course is available on a residential and non-residential basis.

All applications for this course are through UCAS (code P5B9). Applications can be made to UCAS until the end of June or until the course closes.
