'Perth College UHI'' - in short, '''Perth College''' - provides further education and higher education in the city of Perth, [[Scotland]], through a main campus, a network of learning centres and by distance learning.

(Note that on Wikipedia it is called '''Perth College UHI''' since there is another Perth College in Australia.)

Perth College runs a wide range of courses, including degrees, through its membership of the [[University of the Highlands and Islands]], as well as work-based learning and vocational training. Degrees available include aircraft engineering, music, child and youth studies, social sciences and computing.

Most of Perth College UHI's students are on taught courses on the main campus in Perth, but learning centres across Perth & Kinross provide local people in Blairgowrie, Crieff, Kinross and in Perth city centre with access to training and education too.

The College owns AST (Air Service Training), which has been delivering aeronautical engineering courses since 1934. AST is UK CAA Approved and based at Perth Airport. Staff from many organisations, including British Airways, BMI, Malaysia Airlines, Aer Lingus, Kuwait Airways, Air Mauritius and Air Seychelles have been trained there.

There is a growing community of international students at Perth College UHI, as its English language school courses are approved by the British Council and it is a member of English UK.

== History ==

The College started in the old Academy building on Perth’s Rose Terrace in 1961 offering day-time further education (FE) courses in building trades, before expanding into a centre in Nelson Street (site of the Southern District School) soon afterwards.

Originally called '''Perth Technical College,''' the institution went on to be called '''Perth College of Further Education'''. After incorporation it was changed to '''Perth College'''. To mark its involvement in the University of the Highlands and Islands it is now '''Perth College UHI'''.
