Dundee and Angus (D&A) College has once again taken top spot among Scotland’s colleges according to national performance indicators.

New figures from the Scottish Funding Council (SFC) show D&A was best in the country for student outcomes for full-time FE courses and was pipped by only 0.8% for full-time HE courses.

It is the third consecutive year that D&A College has been top in one or other of these measures.

The college continues to surpass national averages in terms of student success in a range of categories including full-time HE courses, part-time HE courses, and young students aged 18 and under.

In all age groups at D&A College students performed better than the national average.

Pointing out the combined HE and FE figures showed D&A College as the best in the country, Principal Grant Ritchie congratulated college staff.

“This is the third year we have proved that we are leading the sector,” he said.

“The real importance of these figures is that they show that our students are indeed succeeding.”
