A first for Scotland! I love these degrees, and the graduates they have produced elsewhere in the UK. Very excited to be able to support this option for our students at UHI moving forward. If you're interested in hosting a placement student, get in touch!
The UHI Archaeology Institute has added two new “year in industry” undergraduate degrees to our portfolio - the first and only two of their kind in Scotland. Click the link for full details.

Re-post this until you drop. Talk to your MP too. We're being swept under the carpet, zero help. Into my #LongCovid YEAR FIVE, after 2020 infection wave 1, 2022 hospital review & scans (damaged lungs+), I'm only now offered Talking Therapy (& Occupational despite being self-employed & bed-bound).
🚨 Mythbusting #LongCovid with Dr Amir Khan🚨
Long Covid is real. It’s serious. And it’s affecting millions.
On #LongCovidAwarenessDay, #DrAmirKhan joins us to bust harmful myths.
Watch, learn, and share—because the more we talk about Long Covid, the harder it is to ignore.

I hereby create a community of people who love, respect, and admire boglands. They are mysterious, beautiful, and powerful to ecology, archaeology and climate. Yet these systems continue to be misunderstood and threatened. Who wants to join my bog fan club? Please share - bogs need friends right now
