Support available from partner universities
Whilst you are studying on your HN course at Fife
College you may have the opportunity to meet staff
from several of our partner universities.
The university staff will offer you the chance to
participate in workshops that will let you gain skills
to help you with degree level study. These sessions
will either be built into your programme of study
or offered as additional workshops; they will help
to make your transition to university smoother by
ensuring that you have the necessary skills to join a
degree course in year 2 or 3.
Topics offered in these workshops vary year on year,
but usually include themes such as: structuring your
reports and essays, using and evaluating sources,
academic and critical writing, oral presentations, ethical
considerations, and exam preparation and revision.
Remember, many of the skills you pick up at these
workshops may also be useful for your HN course, so
take advantage of them when you can!
Becoming an Associate Student
Some university courses also offer an Associate
Student programme and you would sign up to this
programme early on in your HN course.
Becoming an Associate Student means that:
you could be invited to attend some events and
lectures at the associate university and get the
chance to experience a university culture whilst
studying at college
you will have access to associate university
library facilities
summer school and work experience or
placements may be available
There are slight differences in the schemes offered by
universities and you will be given information about
these programmes at the start of your HN course.
You can then sign up to what is applicable to you and
your HN course.
