Sports, adventure and tourism
Does sport drive you?
What could be better than studying golf next to the iconic links of Royal Dornoch. Ranked number 3 in Golf Digest’s list of the World’s 100 Greatest Golf Courses, it's one of the legendary Tom Watson’s favourites!
Imagine learning all about adventure in the shadow of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain across the British Isles and at the UK’s Outdoor capital with outstanding facilities set amongst some of the most beautiful scenery.
Or follow in the footsteps of Michelin starred chefs Tom Kitchin, Andrew Fairlie, and Lorna McNee, with opportunities to train at some of the world’s most renowned venues, including The Gleneagles Hotel.

Postgraduate
Sian, adventure performance and coaching student
I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to go into performance and coaching as there is an inbuilt balance, developing both aspects for the athlete or the instructor. I have done my personal performance awards in paddle sports, whilst also going to the local climbing wall with a qualified instructor as part of a class on coaching skills, using video analysis as an aid. I would put this course above many others like it in the UK.
Sian is studying BSc (Hons) Adventure Performance and Coaching at UHI North, West and Hebrides.
