UHI Outer Hebrides Centres
We have campuses throughout the Outer Hebrides; a diverse chain of inter-connected islands with their own unique Hebridean way of life.
Our islands are rich in culture and heritage and home to a vibrant Gaelic community. Join us and enjoy a truly unique student experience.


Renowned for their beauty, unique habitats, unusual geomorphology and spectacular coastlines, these islands comprise a rich and diverse natural environment. Home to a wide range of native flora and fauna, they also play host to a large variety of migrating birds throughout the year.

Our courses offer a unique cultural and educational experience and attract locals as well as many from the mainland and beyond.
