Whether you are looking to research your family tree, complete a

psychology higher, or learn how to use a loom, we have an evening or

day class to suit you! Location need not be an issue - with our

conveniently located local Learning Centres, most courses are

available close to home.

Browsing through this booklet will give you an idea of the range of

classes that Shetland College UHI can offer as well as help you

through our application process. You can get more details about

individual courses and life at the college by visiting our website.

Add to this the fact that we are a part of the newest university in

firmly believe we can offer what is best for you.
