The University of Highlands and Islands UHI UHI comprises 13 colleges and research institutions in the Highlands and on the islands of Scotland. This consortium provides access to university-level education through a distinctive partnership of colleges and research institutions. Each partner has its own character; some are relatively large colleges in the urban centers of the region such as Perth, Elgin, and Inverness. Others are smaller institutions, including some whose primary focus is on research, including the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) at Oban. All, however, have a studentcentered culture and an individual approach to student learning. UHI offers a choice of campus locations in urban, rural, and island communities; distinctive courses and subject areas reflecting the characteristics of the region and with relevance worldwide; extensive use of information technology, including on-line materials and video conferencing; small class sizes with a focus on the needs of the individual learner; welcoming communities, rich in culture and located in an area of outstanding natural beauty; and high-quality academic courses in a variety of fields in a region known world-wide for its great natural and unspoiled environment – the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
