Offer Holder Days
Offer Holder Days
If you’ve received an offer for a Schools Programme course at UHI Inverness, we’d love to welcome you to our Offer Holders Days in June.
These days are a great way to firm up your choice, meet your lecturer and your classmates before the summer holidays.
You will get a chance to enrol on your course, ask any questions and tour the campus. You can stay on longer and explore the library, learning resource centre and the canteen with your new classmates.
Offer Holder Dates for 2026
- Friday 5 June 2026, from 10am-12pm
- Friday 12 June 2026, from 10am-12pm
We would recommend attending at least one Offer Holder Day, if you are able to. You are more than welcome to attend both dates it you feel this would be beneficial to you.
