How To Apply For A Course

The method of application to SAC courses is dependent on the type of course you are applying for.
  • For full-time degree, HND or HNC study, you need to apply to SAC through UCAS.
  • For SAC Diploma, part-time, or flexible learning courses you need to apply direct to SAC on an undergraduate application form.
  • If you wish to study just a few modules then you need to fill in a SAC short course application form.
  • Postgraduate applications for some courses (Countryside Management, Applied Poultry Science and Organic Farming) are also made direct to SAC on the Postgraduate application form.
  • Postgraduate applications for courses run in conjunction with the University of Edinburgh (Applied Animal Behaviour and Animal Welfare, Ecological Economics, Environmental Protection and Management, and Food Security) are made direct to the University of Edinburgh. Please contact Frances Stratford for further information about these courses.
