University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI)

While UHI is Scotland's newest university many of its 10 colleges and research institutions have longer histories, the earliest having been founded in the 19th century. The UHI network has had a unique structure and the way that it has evolved as a multi-campus institution has been constrained by a legislative framework that deals with further and higher education separately.

At UHI, you will never just be a number - wellbeing, learning, financial and careers support are available every step of the way. Thanks to our smaller class sizes, we hold personalised student support at the heart of everything we do.

Combining academic excellence, vocational training, and industry expertise with our personalised approach, we help students find their path, building their skills and confidence to prepare them for success.

We offer unparalleled natural laboratories and opportunities to support world-class research across a wide range of disciplines. Our researchers work across teams, networks and locations throughout the region and internationally.

Our programmes are designed with employability in mind. Several programmes have recorded a 100% employment rate within 15 months of graduating, including our BSc (Hons) Environmental Science, BSc (Hons) Geography, and BSc (Hons) Forestry and Treescapes Management.
