What our students say
Mhari studies BSc (Geography) at our UHI Inverness campus:
“When I saw that the BSc (Hons) Geography course offered plenty of face-to-face time with lecturers, it felt like an easy choice. I think the smaller class sizes make a big difference. You get more one-on-one time with the lecturers, which makes it much easier to ask questions and bounce ideas off them.
My favourite things about UHI are the sense of community and how easy it is to engage with lecturers and staff. The best thing about living here is being able to study in one of the most beautiful and peaceful places. The easy access to the outdoors is not only enjoyable but really helps with mental health during busy academic terms.”
