UHI Students have formed many different clubs and societies through HISA. HISA Affiliated clubs and societies are based throughout the Highlands and Islands, with some unique to a location and others offered regionally. In West Highland, student groups make use of dramatic scenery and superb outdoor opportunities with sporting clubs like Snowsports and Mountainbiking. Campuses like Moray and Perth have art and music clubs. Inverness College's School of Forestry has a vibrant academic society. Our unique geographical context provides students with opportunities to connect with others outside of their own college in our Regional clubs like UHI Gaming. Clubs and Societies are a chance for students to take part in sports and hobbies, reduce feelings of isolation, and collaborate with their peers.
