‘ We’re constantly developing our curriculum to ensure it best refl ects the demands of our local population, and have added several new courses this year which we believe will be popular additions to an already exciting range of options.

‘ We now have a huge range of courses available covering an array of subjects.

‘ I’d like to think there’s something of interest for everyone, regardless of age or background.

‘ National statistics published earlier this year show that more Argyll College UHI students than ever before are successfully completing their courses, and we’re delighted that so many are able to move onwards and upwards, whether that be in terms of progressing to other qualifi cations or in terms of moving into employment.

‘ We look forward to welcoming a new cohort of students in September. We’re confi dent that choosing to study at Argyll College UHI is a decision they won’t regret.’
