➕Where learning means more
➕ Where learning means more. We’re more than a university and more than a college.

We offer many more options to our students than any single college or university can. We want to build pride in UHI because being part of it means we are all much more than we are individually. Spanning some of the most stunning areas of Scotland, we are shaped by extraordinary landscapes and the seas that surround us. Where we learn helps to define us. You will find us among the mountains and forests and on islands. In historic towns and cities, hi-tech research parks, and state-of-the art learning environments. We bring together our collective expertise, uniting more than 30,000 students through our sense of place and purpose. More than most, we stand for diversity and opportunity. We offer more choice, more courses and more ways to learn. Our students can study at one of our campuses, world-class research centres, local learning centres, or online from wherever they want or need to be. We offer an outstanding experience, unlike anywhere else. UHI, where learning means more.

Far a bheil ionnsachadh a’ ciallachadh barrachd. Is e barrachd is oilthigh agus barrachd is colaiste a th’ annainn. Bidh sinn a’ tabhann tòrr a bharrachd roghainnean do na h-oileanaich againn na as urrainn do cholaiste no oilthigh fa leth sam bith.

Agus sinn a’ toirt a-steach cuid de na sgìrean as iongantaiche ann an Alba, tha sinn air ar cumadh le cruthan-tìre air leth agus na cuantan a tha timcheall oirnn.

Faodaidh na h-oileanaich againn a bhith ag ionnsachadh aig aon de ar n-àrainnean, ar n-ionadan rannsachaidh, a tha am measg na feadhna as fheàrr san t-saoghal, no ar n-ionadan ionnsachaidh ionadail, no air-loidhne o àite sam bith a rèir mar a thogras iad no mar a dh’fheumas iad. Bidh sinn a’ tabhann fèin-fhiosrachadh air leth, eu-coltach ri àite sam bith eile. UHI, far a bheil ionnsachadh a’ ciallachadh barrachd.

The UHI Industry Insights Programme is now open for applications from any third or fourth-year student at UHI. ⬇

This programme connects students with industry professionals, helping them build confidence and navigate future career aspirations. Hear from Jessica Thomas, a MSc Sustainable Energy Solutions student based in Orkney:

‘What stands out most is how well the programme connected me with an organisation and mentor who were such a strong fit for my interests and career aspirations. Today, I work at the European Marine Energy Centre - EMEC alongside my mentor, and I still benefit from her support and experience. Looking back, it's hard to imagine a better outcome from an industry mentoring programme.’

Police Scotland’s That Guy campaign encourages men to recognise the influence they have on those around them and the positive role they can play in challenging harmful attitudes and behaviours towards women and girls.

We encourage you to learn more about the campaign and join us in helping to create positive change for women.
