Benbecula Learning Centre

Our Benbecula Learning Centre is located in the beautiful Uists, the chain of islands directly to the south of Lewis and Harris. Five minutes walk from white sandy beaches, our courses offer a unique cultural and educational experience and attract locals as well as many students from the mainland and from further afield.

Full time Courses delivered on campus include Music (BA Applied and HNC).

Part time courses include Gaelic Language conversation classes, Ulpan, Health & Social Care and a variety of short courses in music and CPD activity.

The campus also has a range of Video Conference and computer suites available to support remotely delivered and networked courses. A purpose built studio makes an excellent learning resource, to which students have full access during the academic year.

Accommodation

There is a wide range of different accommodation options in the Uists, ranging from B&B and self-catering in family homes, to house rental. Upon acceptance to the course, students are sent a list of accommodation from the college to assist them in locating suitable housing.

Many of the hosts on the list are fluent Gaelic speakers.
