Sapho Simon, HND Fashion Design and Production with Retail
“ My course was right for me because gives you realistic tools to work in the industry of fashion, while remaining creative and practical. The teaching staff are amazing, tutors are attentive to their students, with an excellent student support system. My favourite thing about UHI is the attention to students, the kindness between the staff and students and the encouragement from the university, they want to see you succeed. "
Jordan McNeilage, BSc (Hons) Architectural Technology
“ There are many different routes to success. If, for whatever reason, you don't follow the 'standard route' you can still get there in the end, and you might just gain more experience along the way! I currently work for a local architect firm alongside my studies, which suits me well as I'm building up work contacts and experience. ”
Kayleigh Kellas, BA (Hons) Fine Art
“ I was attracted to study here as I preferred the more personal and nurturing approach to teaching made possible by fewer students and a smaller campus. The drive to university is so green and picturesque; I never begrudge doing it. This course allows me to study a subject I'm passionate about at a pace that allows me to truly enjoy the process of creating artwork. There are lots of extra activities - talks, meet-ups, gallery socials - which are always well advertised and beneficial. ”
