First Year entry to undergraduate degrees

The Undergraduate Certificate has been designed to allow second year degree entry in specific subject areas. However, students who have received a Certificate at the end of their study at ISC but fail to meet the standard for progression onto the second year, will be guaranteed a place in the first year of an undergraduate degree at Heriot-Watt University.
