02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Argyll College UHI provides high quality innovative education opportunities, acts as an economic driver to enhance the skills and development of the local economy and develop a reputation for excellence which will encourage students to study in the communities we serve. The charity provides a range of further and higher education to as many of the communities in the area as possible. It does this by having a network of centres, some small, some large, in all the main centres of population. The main annual objectives of the charity are to meet the educational delivery targets set by SFC. to maintain quality standards as agreed internally and as assessed by external bodies. and to do all of this within the financial resources made available to the charity.
