News for 2024
New Medical Studies Access Programme

Looking to study remotely?
UHI Perth is offering on-line SWAP programmes  for remote learners, designed for adults living in Scotland who do not have easy access to a college campus.

The Humanities programme has routes into primary teaching, social work, community education and many different social science degrees. Their Access to Health & Life Sciences programme can lead to degrees in the Life and Biological Sciences field as well as pathways into some of the allied health profession degrees. See our Progression Route Finder for all the degree options.

UHI North, West & Hebrides are also offering a 'study from anywhere' Access to Nursing program. You can choose to study at your local campus or online.
