What our students say

Craig Robertson – HND Computer Science
The course, the lecturers, the resources, they are all really helpful and informative and I would say you are guaranteed to develop your knowledge and skills on the chosen subject. There is plenty support, and you are never left behind, help is always just a question away.

As a ‘mature’ student I was slightly nervous about coming back to education, but the nerves were gone after day 1. The pace of the course and the support available made it very easy to return to being a student.

Joe Gentleman – HNC Digital Design and Web Development
The course gave me a strong foundation in a lot of areas that I would have never got involved with if I had not taken this course such as working with Games Development and Level Design. I exercised a lot of valuable skills such as working as a team, time management, problem solving and being open minded.

The best thing I would say about studying at UHI Moray is that all the staff members that have taught me have been great, are passionate about what they teach and have always been of help when needed.

Laura MacPherson – Introduction to Computing and Digital Media (SCQF Level 5)
This is the right course for me because I wanted to try something new, and I was intrigued to see what this course is about and I really enjoy it.

From this course I have widened my knowledge when it comes to computers and digital media, I’ve learned a lot of new skills and how to work many different types of software I hadn’t used before this course, such as a lot of the Adobe cloud software.
