The University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) has launched flexible Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses and Professional Certificates, aimed at businesses and individuals.

The short courses are delivered online from the Highlands and Islands of Scotland and focus on key economic areas including Just Transition and Net Zero.

Dr Su Bryan, Dean of the Faculty of Science, Health and the Environment at UHI said,

“At UHI, we recognise that the employment landscape is changing. Many people want to access learning through shorter courses, with flexible delivery, in order to support their professional development or changing career needs. We are passionate about empowering people to make a difference to challenges such as climate change. In fact, Sustainable Development was UHI’s first-ever degree and our first fully online programme.

“These professional development courses are designed to address current and future issues. Our lecturers are involved in different ways in their own local communities, and we bring these experiences, as well as our academic skills in climate change, geography, economics, rural development, politics and public policy, to our teaching and research. Our team is highly experienced in delivering high quality online education, with most staff teaching online for over 10 years.”
