You may not have to! There is a cost for all courses, however many categories of student are not required to pay fees.

If you are given a place on a full time course then you will not have to pay.

If you receive certain types of benefit, then you may not have to pay for your course at all.

If you hold an Individual Learning Account then you may be able to use this to help towards the cost of the course. This can be up to £200 per year.

If you are thinking of joining a full time or part time course, before you enrol on the course, it is important to discuss your plans for study with the Department for Work and Pensions.

It may be possible for you to study part time and still have access to your benefits. 

You may apply for a bursary while you attend college, to help with living costs, but this may have an effect on the benefits you already receive.

You can talk this over with the Bursary Officer too, before deciding which method of study suits you best.  Call her on 01847 889000 or email bursary.nhc@thurso.uhi.ac.uk

You can apply for as many courses as you wish and maybe asked to attend an informal interview for each one, but we will try to make these timed as closely together as feasible. This will probably be with the course tutor, so ask as many questions as you like in order to make sure that the course is right for you. This is a good chance to find out as much about the course and the college as you can.

You can download an application form from the resources section by clicking here. Print it out, then fill it in and return it by hand or by post to one of our campuses. Alternatively you can contact our admissions department by phone for more information or to have an application form sent to you in the post.

Once Admissions receive the completed form they will acknowledge this in a letter to you. Shortly after this, you will be invited for an interview, if you have applied for a place on a full time or part time course.  Arrangements for open learning courses may differ slightly: this will be explained in the acknowledgement letter.

When you are given an unconditional offer of a place on a course, the College will send you a bursary application form for you to complete and return to us.

You use this form to apply for a bursary to help with living costs and any grants or allowances you might qualify for (eg travel, books and equipment).

We aim to make our courses as accessible as possible. You may not even have to attend college: quite a number of our courses are available by open learning which could mean there is NO college attendance, courses could be available by e-learning or blended learning. There are quite a number of part-time courses which could mean you attend college for a twilight session (approx. 4.30pm - 7pm)or an evening session (usually 6.45pm - 9.15pm). Check the description of the course(s) you are interested in, or contact Admissions on 01847 889250, email info@northhighland.ac.uk if you are still not sure.

We have a learning support system to ensure students are given the help and support they need. The college buildings are fully accessible.

Many of our courses have been designed to suit both school leavers and mature entrants. Check the Entry Requirements section of the course description, this will tell you what we are looking for. Many of our courses are open to mature students who may have had sufficient experience to allow them to join a course.
