University of the Highlands and Islands
We recognise that thriving at university will be determined as much by your wellbeing as it is by your academic ability: if you feel healthy and content within yourself and your environment, then you are far more likely to perform to the best of your academic ability.

We have a wide range of resources, guidance, and services which can be accessed in person or online, including 24/7 mental health support through Spectrum.Life.
