In its relatively short history, over 1800 students from over 40 countries have successfully graduated from college programmes. The College has widened its scope as a Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) Centre and has collaborative arrangements with several higher education institutions including the University of Dundee, Abertay University and Trinity College, Dublin.
