SQA Progression partners

SQA Advanced Diploma graduates from around the world are looking for an opportunity to study at an institution like yours.

SQA Progression Partners gain access to a talented pool of Diploma graduates from international SQA centres through our Diploma to Degree programme.

Diploma to Degree

Our Diploma to Degree programme is a well-established and respected route for SQA Advanced Diploma graduates to progress directly onto the second or third year of a related undergraduate degree.

Many students study in their own country before moving abroad to complete a related degree, entering directly into second or third year. This is a cost effective route for students to gain international experience and achieve a degree.
