About the Department

The Science and Environment team at Perth College UHI has a reputation for offering highly regarded courses in science, including the innovative Pathway to Medicine, and programmes in managing the countryside and horticulture. Many of our students progress directly to university or employment.

 

Throughout the world, Scotland is known for innovation and technological leadership, so it’s hardly surprising that science and biotechnology are major growth industries here.

 

Comments from students about our courses:

 

"...it has been very intense, hard work, but I’ve loved every minute of it. People tell me I smile every time I mention the College." – Cassandra Smith

 

“This course has really tested me but I know it's going to prepare me for Medical School at St. Andrews next year." – Mohsin Roshan


"The teaching in Perth is superb. They truly understand that you may have been out of education for years so they take it really slowly to begin with and eventually pick up the pace after a month or two. The teachers are mostly available for tutorial sessions if you're having trouble... you have the best teaching available.” - Alex Davidson


“Just wanted to let you know that we started at Gleneagles last  Monday... So thanks to you we might both have landed on our feet.” – Rosemary Macdonald
