Students consistently rate their experience highly, with an impressive 98% overall satisfaction rate across both Further Education and Higher Education courses.

Before applying, applicants are encouraged to read the course information on the college website or in the published eProspectus, paying close attention to entry requirements and progression routes.

 

Davie Lowe, Assistant Principal, commented:

“At Borders College, we’re proud to offer a supportive and inclusive learning environment where learners at every stage can find a course that helps them move forward with confidence. With a wide range of full-time and part-time options, apprenticeships, and flexible learning opportunities, our programmes are designed to build real-world skills and open doors to employment or further study. We encourage prospective students to apply early, explore their options carefully, and take advantage of the guidance and support available to help them take the next step toward a successful future.”

Once an application has been reviewed, applicants will receive an email confirming its status. Some courses may require an interview, while others may make an offer based solely on the application. Successful applicants will receive login details for the student portal, where they can book an interview date if required.

Early applications are encouraged to help secure a first-choice course and career opportunity.
