A very warm welcome to all of our new pupils joining the School College programme.

This year has been a challenging time with many uncertainties for all of us; however I want to reassure you that we are ready and excited to take you on your next learning adventure and have been working hard to ensure you have the best possible experience while you study with us.

Being part of Inverness College UHI allows you to get a taste of Uni life, experience a different style of learning whilst exploring a wide range of subjects perhaps not available to you so far. Not to mention the chance to meet new people and be more independent. We also have a wide range of fantastic workshops and facilities for you to get real hands on experience and lecturers with up to date industry experience to guide you through the year.

As Covid-19 related restrictions are still in place, we have had to plan the delivery of your course in line with Scottish Government guidance. Your face to face experience of College will happen as soon as it is possible and safe to do so.

In the meantime, we have made some temporary adjustments to our course delivery plans for the start of the academic year which you can find by selecting your course type below.

These arrangements are under constant review as the guidance changes, so please look out for further updates and information between now and the start of your course. If you are unsure, please talk to your guidance teacher or get in touch with the schools team.

We are looking forward to meeting you all and have arranged a remote ‘meet and greet’ session with you on Friday 28^th August if you are on a school-college course and Friday 4^th September if you are studying a degree module.

In this session we will be explaining more about your start to college and what to expect. Your school will receive a time slot for you to attend and a link to join the meeting will be sent to you via email shortly.

Make sure you are ready for the start of your course by following steps 1-2-3.

I look forward to meeting you all then.

Best wishes,

Louise Martin-Theyers
