University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI)

Based in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, we are a distinctive partnership of 10 independent colleges and research institutions that span both Further and Higher Education.

• Top 10 most affordable UK universities (Complete University Guide)
• Rated best in Scotland and 3rd in the UK for postgraduate student satisfaction (Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey)
• Nearly 3⁄4 of UHI research judged ‘world leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’ (Research Excellence Framework)

Our reputation is built on our innovative approach to learning and our distinctive research and curriculum – all enriched by the people, natural environment, economy, culture and heritage of the Highlands and Islands and its communities.

Scotland's stunning landscapes are home to our 70 locations; set among mountains and forests, on islands and the mainland, in historic towns and cities, in hi-tech research parks, and in high-quality learning spaces.

Our 36,000 students regularly give us great feedback on our teaching, flexibility, support, and smaller class sizes.
