This is the blog site for the University of the Highlands and Islands Institute for Northern Studies at the University of the Highlands and Islands.
The UHI Institute for Northern Studies is a hub for world-class research and teaching on all aspects of the culture, heritage, and history of the Highlands and Islands, including their wider connections across the world.
If you want to explore the rich history and culture of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, including the Northern Isles, or to study the history of the Vikings, or islands in general, our exciting, innovative programmes offer many flexible options.
We offer programmes at undergraduate, postgraduate and research level and welcome students from home and abroad – previous students have joined us from Germany, Canada, the States and Australia.
Established in 2007, we operate from three key locations at Orkney, Shetland, and Perth Colleges UHI. We also work closely with both Orkney College UHI and Shetland College UHI and their associated learning centres and island communities.
All of our programmes are delivered using a mixture of online and video-conferencing, with students studying from Australia, Canada, the UK and the rest of Europe.
