Home - UHI Overview & Contact Data

The University of the Highlands and Islands provides higher education across Scotland's northern and western communities. UHI serves a Scotland student looking for university study in Inverness, Orkney, Shetland Islands, and other regional locations. Its campuses and online learning options give access to courses in business, health, education, environmental studies, and marine science, while the website helps applicants understand entry routes, programme options, and the support available during study. The site also gives practical guidance for people who want to learn in Inverness or continue their education close to home. For an Orkney educator or a learner based in Shetland, the university offers a local alternative to travelling to a larger city. The site presents information about campuses, learning environments, and student services, making it easier to compare programmes and find the right place to study. In Inverness, students can connect with campus facilities, study spaces, and community settings, with a park in Inverness nearby. Courses, support, library access, and campus learning resources are presented as part of the wider student experience. UHI is notable for its wide geographic reach and emphasis on serving remote and island communities. It brings together several regional campuses and learning centres under a single university framework. The website supports course discovery, application guidance, and practical information for prospective students, helping people across the Highlands and Islands plan their education. With content around marine science, outdoor learning, and activities such as surfing competitions, the site positions the university as a practical choice for students who want study connected to Scotland's coastal and island regions.
