About Lochaber College

Lochaber College, founded in 1998 is a full Academic Partner of the University of the Highlands and Islands Millennium Institute (UHIMI), and seeks to meet the learning needs and aspirations of the communities of Lochaber on an open inclusive basis to the highest possible standards.

The College negotiates, co-ordinates and quality assures learning opportunities from a wide range of providers both from within the UHI and the local community. At each of our learning centres we offer courses accessible on an evening, part-time, full-time, or modular basis, from leisure classes to full degree programmes.
