Free upskilling and reskilling courses included among UHI North, West and Hebrides Highland uni classes

Places are available on courses starting with UHI North, West and Hebrides this month, including a number of free upskilling short courses.

The message from the multi-campus Highland university is that there's still time to apply for a course starting at UHI North, West and Hebrides in late January, with a limited number of free places on a range of postgraduate and undergraduate upskilling courses.

The college says it has more than 100 courses to choose from in January, including a range of full-time and part-time courses at further education, higher education, and postgraduate level, providing options for people leaving school, looking to get back into work, change careers or upskill.

The college also provides flexible study options including on campus from its centres across the North and West Highlands, Skye, and Outer Hebrides, or online to fit around other commitments.

There is a limited number of free places available on a range of postgraduate and undergraduate short courses delivered online. These courses are supported by the Scottish Funding Council’s Upskilling Fund.

Meanwhile, the Scottish Aquaculture Innovation Centre is supporting fully funded places on the Sustainable Rural Development Master of Science (MSc), which can be studied online from anywhere.
