UHI Inverness, Inverness Campus

As well as being the main campus for courses, our main admin and student support team are based here. So if you're looking for information and guidance, counselling, finance or student registration, you'll find everything you need right here.

At the heart of our campus is our learning resource centre where you'll, inevitably, be spending a great deal of time. But we also have a training restaurant (where you can choose to dine), cafe, hi-tech working hairdressing and beauty therapy salons (with great student prices!) and a fully-equipped fitness suite so it's not all hard work!
