Hear from students and staff studying and teaching from home

Lecturers are very friendly and have been contactable before and during the Covid-19 pandemic which has helped ease the transition from face-to-face lectures to studying at home, which as you can imagine with three kids hasn’t been easy, but the lecturers have all been very understanding and provided support and encouragement. Iona Milne, HNC Administration and Information Technology student

Flexibility has been absolutely key to the way that we teach, both in terms of our Virtual Learning Environment and in the way that we teach by Video Conferencing and there’s been an element of continuity despite all the challenges that people are facing just now. Our taught postgraduate students have always studied from the safety and comfort of their own home, it’s the way we’ve taught them for a number of years so we’ve produced hundreds of graduates who have learnt in this flexible way with us. Professor David Worthington, Head of the Centre for History

I love the fact that you can study at a campus, and from home, and at the same time be networked with the university’s thirteen campuses across the beautiful Highlands and Islands. This degree combines three of my main interests: Scotland, history, and politics, and has taught me invaluable academic skills. I hope to continue on to a masters next. Silja Roethinger, BA (Hons) Scottish History and Politics student
