Dundee and Angus College (D&A) was formed in 2013 from the merger of 2 previously successful Scottish further education colleges (Dundee College and Angus College) as part of a Scottish Government reform and re-organisation programme. It provides further education services mainly focusing on the population centres of Dundee and Arbroath & stretching into surrounding areas (Fife, Perthshire, Aberdeenshire). The latest population figure for the region is 262,890, rising to 500,000 counting the “travel to work” area. It offers education & training in many vocational areas from SCQF levels 2 to 10 (EQF levels 1 to 6). D&A employs approximately 1,000 staff and serves 16,669 learners. Most provision is through full-time VET courses for learners aged 16 & upwards in a wide range of subjects including Sport and Leisure. A significant part of our work is part-time courses, industry qualifications, & tailor made courses to suit client's needs.  Core funding comes from Scottish Government.
