Our unique location and culture inspire our curriculum. You can study a specialist course in an incredible location: study golf in Dornoch, archaeology in Orkney, adventure studies in Fort William, or Gaelic on the Isle of Skye and the Hebrides!

Discover a degree with industry placements and projects such as a placement at Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival or a project designing instrumentation for a gin distillery! Or take a year in industry, with geography or environmental science
