Background info on the university
The University of the Highlands and Islands is the United Kingdom’s leading integrated university encompassing both further and higher education. We are part of a new breed of tertiary institutions, the only one in Scotland and one of only a few in Europe.
Based in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, our distinctive partnership of 13 independent colleges and research institutions is locally based and rooted in communities, but with national and international reach, as part of a regional university structure.
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.
Our curriculum portfolio across both further and higher education is designed to meet current and future local and regional needs and to attract other students to the Highlands and Islands to study.
