Why Study Technologies:

Technology is the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes. It is a major driver of product evolution, industrial development and environmental consideration. Each of which shape the society in which we live. Learning in this faculty provides a strong foundation for the development of skills and knowledge, which are, and will continue to be, essential in maintaining Scotland’s economic prosperity.

Our aim is to enable learners to develop their capability to succeed in a wide range of National Qualifications and to support their individual, professional and technical career ambitions. In doing so, we also build appreciation of the role technology plays in our daily lives.
