Welcome to
The North Highland College
The North Highland College UHI is here to help you achieve your goals. We can provide you with a range of high quality learning opportunities designed to fit in with your lifestyle and life choices. We offer full time and part time programmes, and many of our courses are suitable for online study, allowing you to learn in the comfort of your own home. Whichever course you choose, or programme you decide to follow, all are designed to help you learn and develop the skills you will need for the future.
You can join us on prevocational, access, and National Certificate courses, designed for those who are starting off or returning to education after a gap. As a partner in the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) we offer Higher National Certificate and Diploma courses, and courses up to honours degree level.
Our enthusiastic and experienced staff will be able to advise you on the correct course and level for you and your circumstances. Our staff will also be there supporting you every step of the way towards your success.
The four main campuses that make up North Highland College (Thurso, Wick, Dornoch, and Alness) together with an electronically linked network of learning centres, allows the college to reach learners in remote areas, meet the needs of employers, and support local economic activity and development.
The college hosts two prestigious research centres - the Environmental Research Institute (Thurso) and the UHI Centre for History (Dornoch). Both centres support the educational and economic development of the area, with research focussed on energy and the environment, and the role of heritage tourism.
Whether your learning journey begins with a programme easing you back into education, or with a vocational scholarship to carry out some taster research work, we hope you will choose to begin that journey with us.

The University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI)
UHI is a unique partnership of fifteen colleges and research institutions across the Highlands and Islands. Each college and research institution has its own distinctive character and strengths. This means that students of UHI can share in the educational advantages of a larger institution whilst benefiting from the personal attention which a smaller college, like The North Highland College, can provide.
UHI's mission is to play a pivotal role in the educational, economic, social and cultural development of the region through the establishment of a University of the Highlands and Islands.
