Engineering, construction and technology
Study an electrical and electronic, mechanical or electrical and mechanical engineering degree. You will build multidisciplinary knowledge, with options to develop into aerospace, automotive, energy, construction, medical, sports, and transport. Undertake major industry-related projects to showcase your expertise in solving engineering problems to prospective employers. Or study our pioneering energy engineering degree, discovering the emerging energy technologies of the future.
Learn to design and construct infrastructure that will meet the demands of today without compromising the needs of the future, with opportunities to earn as you learn, on our civil engineering and construction and the built environment graduate apprenticeships. Or join our four-year fast-track technological education degree, to start your career as a Technological Education secondary teacher.

Liam, electrical and electronic engineering graduate
Without UHI I wouldn't have been able to gain my apprenticeship. It all started when I completed a college link engineering course here, while still at school. That led on to a national certificate and then all the way through to me graduating with a degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. I have so much to thank UHI for.
Liam graduated from our BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering at UHI North, West and Hebrides.
