"I am so glad to be a part of the University of the Highlands and Islands, where I successfully completed the first semester on my aquaculture Masters. SAMS UHI has a peaceful and friendly atmosphere for studies and staff are very welcoming and supportive. I enjoyed my student life there and it gave me a lot of opportunities to expand my career by including fascinating field visits and practical lectures.
The lecturers are active researchers and experts in their subjects. Students learn in a beautiful place that is great for exploring Scotland’s places, culture and seasons."
