Student stories

The most important part of UHI Argyll is our student community.

Discover the stories of our students and listen to them share their experiences of studying with us, and how our personalised approach to learning has helped them achieve their goals.

Kirsty - Horticulture student

Kirsty began studying HNC Horticulture with an end goal in mind but since starting the course, it's widened her horizons to the many job opportunities available. What’s more, she’s now able to put her new practical skills to use in her own garden!

Riona & Lauren - Beauty Care students

Starting something new can be daunting, especially when in a new environment with people you’ve never met. But Beauty students Riona & Lauren describe how their class became a wee family, as they developed strong friendships with their fellow classmates.
