About West Highland College UHI

Welcome to West Highland College UHI – a new type of college for the new millennium.

West Highland College UHI offers you the opportunity to participate in high quality lifelong learning right up to degree and postgraduate level, wherever you live in the highlands.

With no single, central campus, our college learning centres throughout the West Highlands of Scotland, from Ullapool in the north to Kinlochleven further south, offer learners opportunity and variety in learning styles and subjects.

Our staff are as varied as our learners and we are all committed to finding ways to support and engage learners no matter what their age or circumstances. So if you are leaving school and interested in a vocational, full time course to enhance your career, considering further or higher education, or looking to improve your chances of getting into work – or if you just want to try something new – then do contact us - we really look forward to hearing from you.

We offer a world class degree course in Fort William - the adventure capital of the world – and the ability to progress right through to tertiary level education for students who wish to live and learn in the west highlands.

We offer you the chance to study short and informal courses in friendly local surroundings or to benefit from mentor supported open learning courses to study wherever you like.

If you are at High School, we offer a range of subjects taught by college staff in several local schools.

And for that vital stepping stone between leaving school and progressing to work or higher education – we offer a variety of full time courses from Construction to Music based at our college learning centres.
