Scottish Credit Accumulation and Transfer (SCAT)

Scottish Credit Accumulation and Transfer (SCAT) is a system that recognizes and records academic achievements at colleges and universities in Scotland. It allows students to earn credits for completed courses, which can then be accumulated towards a qualification or transferred between institutions. This flexibility supports lifelong learning and mobility, enabling students to build qualifications gradually or continue their education across different providers. Essentially, SCAT ensures that academic progress can be easily tracked, recognized, and used to support further study or career development.
