Edinburgh Qualifications - Higher & Further Education
Many pupils leave school at the ages of 16 and 17 to move on to
further education, after completing Standard Grades, Intermediate 1
and 2 and Highers. Others stay on for a 6th year
for re-sits or to study any of a wide range of courses: additional
Highers, Advanced Highers, GNVQs, National
Certificate (NC) modules and possibly even the Higher National
Certificate (HNC).
All Scottish exam results are normally published the first week
in August.
For those relocating from England at school level, the
transition is eased further by the fact that many independent
schools in the city region offer A
and AS Levels as well as Scottish examinations. Others offer
the International Baccalaureate and courses to help the transition
from international qualifications to a degree course
in Scotland.
