University of Edinburgh

Experience Edinburgh as a real student: living, studying and socialising in the heart of Scotland’s vibrant capital city. Explore multiple academic subjects, receive expert guidance on your journey ahead, enjoy exciting varied social activities, and make great friends along the way!

Currently one of the world’s top 30 universities (QS 2025) and one of the top UK cities for student life, Edinburgh is home to beautiful architecture, fascinating history, and world-famous festivals! With the lush Scottish countryside and coastline nearby, Edinburgh is large enough to offer something for everyone, but small enough to feel like home.

Join us this summer for the “BEST WEEK EVER” that is “enthralling, immersive and literally life-changing!"

Join the University of Edinburgh & University of St Andrews to find out more! Pupils, teachers and guardians all welcome to find out about both of our exciting summer schools.
