ABOUT THE CAMPUS
The Crichton University Campus in Dumfries is
Scotland's first multi-institutional campus, hosting the University
of Glasgow, the University of Paisley, Bell College and Dumfries
and Galloway College. Located within a historic and award-winning
85 acre estate of parkland and gardens, the campus has the
reputation of being one of the most beautiful in the country.
A wide range of undergraduate courses
is offered - from Creative and Cultural Studies, through Business
and Computing to Health Studies, Environmental Studies and
Nursing - a total of 12 separate degrees in all. The campus
also hosts a growing number of postgraduate students and offers
shorter courses in Continuing Professional Development.
Strong links with Dumfries
and Galloway College enable students to build on their
HNC/HND qualifications by articulating on to a degree programme
on a full- or part-time basis. With the proposed move of the
whole college to the campus, it aspires to be Scotland's first
campus for tertiary education.
The majority of students are from Southwest
Scotland, but those from elsewhere in the UK are increasing
and there is a strong representation of students from mainland
Europe. With favourable staff/student ratios, state of the
art equipment and a beautiful campus, most students find the
campus very friendly and conducive to study.
