Students return!
UHI welcomed new and returning students in August.
Over the past few weeks, UHI campuses have been welcoming students as part of their inductions.
These sessions have been key in helping students meet lecturing staff, explore campuses and connect with fellow students.
Acting students were given the chance to visit Eden Court; hospitality students received a team building lesson from an RAF reserve; sports students hit the ground running with fitness activities and hairdressing students welcomed their first clients.
Classes have now fully kicked off.
The Little Lunchbox reopens
The Little Lunchbox has reopened in the Elgin campus’ refectory.
After a long summer break, Kathleen and the team at the Little Lunchbox reopened to staff, students and visitors with a revised offering.
This year they will be providing a grab and go service alongside their made to order goodies.
Modern Apprenticeships continue to rise
Modern Apprenticeship numbers at UHI are growing, reflecting the increasing value employers are seeing to their business by recruiting an apprentice in the workplace or upskilling existing staff.
