Student life

Your study experience matters, but does life outside the classroom

Studying in another country is a big decision, and we are here to support you every step of the way. Part of this is thanks to our smaller class sizes, meaning more tailored learning, more contact time, and a close-knit student community.

Finding the right accommodation to suit you, making friends in and out of your class, and getting involved in extracurricular activities will help you settle quickly into Scottish culture.

“The Highlands of Scotland has so much to offer people who enjoy the outdoors. It has the most stunning scenery and we get to go out and enjoy it on our practical days. At UHI, each day is different.”
