Learning at College or University?
If you would like to study at a college or university there are many different courses to choose from. You often don’t need any formal qualifications to study at educational institutions, but you will need a willingness to learn.
You can call any of the colleges and universities in Fife and Tayside or check their websites where you can find up-to-date information on what is currently available. Alternatively you could visit the institution you would like to attend and pick up a current prospectus, which is a booklet that will list all of the different courses you can do
