HEALTH care courses at Hawick’s Borders College building will be moved to Galashiels’ Heriot-Watt campus next year.
The move was confirmed by college principal Bob Murray, who said: “We are in discussion with Heriot-Watt to locate certain Higher Education courses including HNCs within the care department at Netherdale.
“The added value aspects of such a move would include access for students to high quality university library and other resources and facilities and the opportunity to experience studying in a university environment.
Local student Karen Wilson, who has been at the forefront of the fight to save the Commercial Road campus, said: “I really am beginning to think the worst and that a total move to Galashiels will happen despite massive support to retain the facility in Hawick.
