Living in the Highlands and Islands

The Highlands and Islands of Scotland is the most northerly region in the United Kingdom, and one of the most diverse.

The University of the Highlands and Islands gives you the choice of studying in one of the larger urban centres of the region, such as Perth, Inverness or Elgin, or in one of the smaller towns or island communities, including the Western and Northern Isles.

Snow and water-based sports, mountaineering, horse riding and mountain biking are just some of the hobbies you can indulge in or take up, whilst living and studying here.
