You will study a range of units at SCQF Levels 4 to 7 in order to prepare you for further study at a university level. Language study (French or Spanish) may be combined in different ways depending on previous knowledge of a language and the levels available. We may be able to provide additional units or modify the programme to suit your own progression routes.
