Study
The Scottish Borders is a great place to study. With an inspiring, safe environment, students are assured of an enjoyable and rewarding educational experience in the Scottish Borders. In addition, there are many other learning opportunities across the Scottish Borders for both formal and informal learning, from pre-school onwards.
In 2009 a new joint Further and Higher Education Campus will open at Netherdale in Galashiels bringing together Borders College and Heriot-Watt University’s world-renowned School of Textiles and Design. It will provide a state of the art hub for lifelong learning and training. Used to its full potential, the campus will be hugely important for the Scottish Borders economy, helping businesses with skills development and training, as well as research and development.
