Liam, electrical and electronic engineering graduate
Without UHI I wouldn't have been able to gain my apprenticeship. It all started when I completed a college link engineering course here, while still at school. That led on to a national certificate and then all the way through to me graduating with a degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. I have so much to thank UHI for.
Liam graduated from our BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering at UHI North, West and Hebrides.
