UHI Golf

Established in 2001, the BA (Hons) in Golf Management at North Highland
College UHI was the first honours degree programme of its kind in the UK.

New for 2015, is the BA (Hons) Professional Golf. The degree has won support from Jack Nicklaus, winner of a record 18 Major championships and Golf Monthly’s Golfer of the 20th Century, who has praised Dornoch’s role in developing education and promoting golf.

Nicklaus said: “Royal Dornoch has such a rich history in the landscape of golf, but it also has a legacy in the development of the game, shaping both the next generation of golfers and the next generation of designers.

“I fully support the University of the Highlands and Islands, in association with Royal Dornoch, in their efforts to provide education within the golf industry and beyond. I hope you will agree it is in the best interest of the future of this great game.”
