Advisors will be available to answer general queries and talk prospective students through the application process throughout the week.
Academic staff will be able to answer course-specific queries during call-backs on 9 August and drop-in sessions at the City Campus and Fraserburgh Campus on 10 August.
A dedicated phone hotline and LiveChat support will also be available to respond to general enquiries and an online application workshop will take place on 10 August.
Information on NESCol courses and facilities, guidance on funding and travel and a range of other topics is available.
NESCol Principal Neil Cowie said: “We’re looking forward to an exciting year ahead, with an engaging and vibrant College experience at the heart of those plans. It will be fantastic to welcome this year’s group of students for what promises to be a very rewarding session.
