NESCol to mark men’s World Cup opener with holiday

May 5, 2026

NESCol will join other public bodies in celebrating the Scotland men’s team returning to World Cup action by observing the national holiday on Monday 15 June.

All College campuses will be closed for the day, with no full-time or part-time courses running.

Staff have been granted the day as an additional holiday. As the date falls during the summer resulting weeks, the majority of students would not have been required to be on campus – but the holiday means all will be afforded the day off.
