About Fraserburgh Campus

A variety of subjects are studied at Fraserburgh Campus, with many different full-time and part-time options. Art, floristry, business, engineering, science, welding and care are just a few of the different subjects you can choose from!

Fraserburgh Campus is well served by public transport links, with regular buses to and from the area. Student, visitor and staff parking is available on campus, and via on-street parking close by.

College transport

The College provides buses to our Fraserburgh Campus operating from a number of locations including Buckie, Ellon, Huntly, Inverurie, Peterhead and Turriff. These services run subject to demand, and therefore may change from time to time. Please check if a service is running in your area before your course starts – if in doubt, you can call the College for an update.

Please note that a charge is made for bus transport unless you are in receipt of a bursary and meet the conditions required for travelling expenses. In this case your transport will be funded from your bursary.

*Please note that due to road closures in Ellon, the Market Street pick up will be replaced by a temporary bus stop on Station Road.

Face coverings should be worn while travelling on our transport unless an exemption applies.

Student Stories

Don’t take our word for it! Find out what our students think about studying at NESCol.

Gregor Milne

Business & Management

HND Legal Services

“University would not have been an option for me without my HND so I will be forever grateful to NESCol for the opportunities it has provided me with. “

Beata Tetkowska

Computing

HND Technologies in Business

“I would definitely recommend NESCol to everyone who wants to study computing. No matter what age, or if this is their first course, or – if like me – you want to change your career. It’s a very friendly environment, well quipped when it comes to computing facilities and – most importantly – with very, very supportive and highly knowledgeable lecturers.”

Oliwia Lewicka

Modern Apprenticeship

Hairdressing

“When you go into hairdressing at first it may seem very easy. Although you don’t need qualifications it is so much harder than it looks. It’s commitment, it’s hard work, it’s remembering, it’s being creative, it’s always knowing what you want as a finished look. As long as you are prepared for this then I would encourage anyone to go for it.”

Madison Gillan

Modern Apprenticeship

Hairdressing

“Apart from the obvious of learning how to deal with people professionally, it has also helped me on a personal level with my own self-confidence.”

Lisa Shaw

Modern Apprenticeship

Mechanical Manufacturing Engineering

“As a mature student and a home owner I have been able to work and learn at the same time – if I had returned to full time education then I would have struggled financially. I came away from school with few qualifications and didn’t think that I would go back into education. I always wanted to, but never really had the confidence. This has shown me that I have a huge potential for learning and it’s given me more interest to pick up learning again in the future.”

Greig Johnston

Modern Apprenticeship

Mechanical Manufacturing Engineering

“For me the benefits of an apprenticeship are that you get hands-on practical experience compared to someone studying at Uni. I’m also earning a wage rather than racking up debt.”

Rebekka McLaughlin

Modern Apprenticeship

Logistics Operations

“I wanted a qualification that would prove and support my ability. I chose Logistics Operations as this is the largest part of the role I carry out. I left school and worked my way up so it’s really nice to have a qualification that proves I’m competent in this area.”

Meghan Bruce

Modern Apprenticeship

Logistics Operations

“I would love to extend my knowledge of the transport industry in the future – perhaps extra courses or learning on the job. There’s lots of exciting possibilities. From my experience I would definitely recommend an apprenticeship. You gain a qualification at the end of it and there’s all the help and support around you to make sure you succeed.”

Conor Dickie

Modern Apprenticeship

Warehousing Modern Apprenticeship

“There have been things that I didn’t think I needed to learn about that I have learnt about! It’s helped my day job dramatically – I now feel a lot more confident in what I’m doing. “

Sean Robertson

Modern Apprenticeship

Joinery Apprenticeship (CITB)

“The beauty of a construction apprenticeship it is you can join from school, so you are earning at 16. By the time you’re 20 you’re on a full time wage compared to university which is 4 years, and then you have a traineeship.”
