Amber Geddes, BSc (Hons) Psychology

Amber Geddes missed a few years of high school due to illness and thought she would never be accepted onto a university course. However, she secured an online place at UHI Inverness through widening access and is celebrating achieving a BSc (Hons) Psychology degree. 

Amber (22) from Inverness is now studying a Developmental Psychology Masters at the University of Dundee and intends to start a research-based PhD next year. 

“UHI Inverness gave me an opportunity that I wouldn’t have otherwise had,” she said. 

“I really appreciate the skills that online study taught me, and the degree modules gave a really diverse look into the possible specialisations that one can go into. Not having the same secondary education as my peers was a big barrier for my higher education. But the opportunity that UHI Inverness gave me to complete my Bachelors in Psychology has opened up a lot of opportunities.”
