Where learning means more
Join us in our stunning landscapes, set among the mountains and forests, on islands and the mainland, in historic towns and cities, in hi-tech research parks, and in high-quality learning spaces. Learn in small, focused class sizes, giving you more time with teaching staff.
Our unique location and culture inspire our curriculum. You can study a specialist course in an incredible location: study golf in Dornoch, archaeology in Orkney, adventure studies in Fort William, or Gaelic on the Isle of Skye and the Hebrides!
Discover a degree with industry placements and projects such as a placement at Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival or a project designing instrumentation for a gin distillery! Or take a year in industry, with geography or environmental science.
