About UHI
In April 2001, the Scottish Executive granted UHI Millennium Institute (UHI)
status of Higher Education Institution, providing university level courses
throughout the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. This was achieved after a
decade of dedicated hard work by the people involved with the University of
the Highlands and Islands Project. However, for centuries the people of the
Highlands and Islands have aspired to create a university and thus UHI has
an extensive and intriguing history which dates back to the 14th century
when Perth was identified as a suitable site for university provision
throughout the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
UHI's network is a unique partnership of 15 colleges and research
institutions in the region, co-ordinated by UHI executive office based in
Inverness. Each college and research institution has its own distinctive
character and strengths. This means that students can share in the
educational advantages of a larger institution while benefiting from the
personal attention a smaller college can give.
Currently over 5000 students are studying on UHI courses or undertaking
post-graduate research with UHI.
