Please note:

The daytime Highers programme is full with the exception of Sociology, Maths A, Maths B and Physics. If you wish to study this permutation then you can still apply.  If you wish to apply for anything other than the 3 subjects stated above we will add your name to the waiting list. To join our waiting list please send an online application. Please note waiting list applications will be processed in chronological order and we will not know how many places, if any, we have available, until after enrolment in August.

The evening programme English and Psychology classes are also full. Again, if you wish your name to be added to the waiting list please send an online application. All other evening classes still have spaces available.

The Highers / Intermediate 2 day programme is designed for those who wish to add to existing qualification before progressing to Further or Higher Education. Choose from the following timetabled subjects: Highers Timetable 2012-2013

The number of Higher subjects that you choose to study will determine whether you are a Full time or a Part time student. Full time day students will normally select three subjects. Each subject involves 2x3 hours of tuition e.g. English (A) Tuesday pm and Thursday pm. 

Studying Part time  

A number of places on the daytime programme are provisionally reserved for part time students.  Places will be allocated in order of application, subject to entry requirements being met.  If you study fewer than three subjects you will be a Part time student. Evening subjects involve 3 hours of tuition.

Please note that Maths Intermediate 2 (Flexible) is designed to support students who hope to gain entry to teacher training.
