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.
Below you will find scholarships related to University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI). Distinction can be made between scholarships provided by the University and those provided by independent providers.

Officially the course have already started. The organisation and administration of Sustainable Energy Solution MSc, starts in September 2025 By next week we will be getting lectures online. So far all is going well.
Overall the University of the Highlands and Islands is a relatively good place to study, there are many options for courses and if you live in the local area it is very affordable. The university is very modern and provides many scenic views, it is also very close to the city centre as it only takes a ten minute walk/ 10 minute bus ride into the centre.
Due to the recent cuts within education, Perth College UHI took a major hit and resulted in less staff for students. This meant less overall support for students as 2 classes were being taught at the same time.
