Enhanced Associate Student Scheme (NESCol)

Start your university journey with the Enhanced Associate Scheme! Your Pathway from NESCol to RGU Starts Here. Take control of your future and secure your place at RGU today.

Becoming an enhanced associate student means that you will be registered as both a NESCol and RGU student whilst studying for your HN qualification at college. As an enhanced associate student, you will have time to become familiar with the university and ensure a smooth transition from the college to RGU.

By joining the scheme, you will become a registered student at RGU meaning that you will not have to apply to the university through UCAS. However, signing up will not restrict you from making further applications through UCAS. 

Key Benefits

  • Direct transfer between college and university without needing a UCAS application
  • Regular newsletters, including updates and useful information preparing you for university life.
  • Access to the university library in The Sir Ian Wood Building on the Garthdee Campus.
  • Discounted student rates at RGU SPORT. Take advantage of our fantastic sport facilities including a 25-meter swimming pool, 30 meter climbing wall, two gyms and a range of exercise classes.
