New pathways at college

DUMFRIES and Galloway College (DGC) has announced the introduction of new and enhanced learning pathways.

They are designed to provide greater support and opportunities for students who benefit from a supported and inclusive learning environment.

The pathway will ensure learners receive the guidance, skills and support they need to achieve their aspirations, with clear progression routes, improved learning experiences and stronger transitions into further education and employment.

Opportunities available across both the Stranraer and Dumfries campuses include:

Introduction to LEAP (SCQF Level 3)- for senior-phase pupils, this provides an enhanced transition into college for students who thrive in a supported learning environment. It builds confidence, independence and key skills to support further progression.

Sustained Transition and Routes – STAR offers a structured learning journey for students who require a supported approach to education, helping them build essential life and employability skills while preparing for future opportunities.

In addition, Project SEARCH, run in conjunction with the Employability and Skills team at Dumfries and Galloway Council, provides work-based learning opportunities for students with additional support needs in both Stranraer and Dumfries.

College principal Joanna Campbell said: “We are proud to introduce this enhanced pathway that reflects our commitment to inclusivity, support and student success.

By working closely with our partners and aligning our courses across both campuses, we are ensuring that every learner has access to the resources and guidance they need to achieve their ambitions.”
