Make Friends For Life This Summer!

From making new friends from all over the globe to being introduced to a diversity of new ideas and experiencing the simple joy of seeing the world, there are lots of reasons to choose to study in Edinburgh this summer.

Whether you're interested in our Pre-University or Undergraduate programme, Edinburgh is a dream destination for many people who wish to study and live abroad and as a result, our Summer School programme attracts people from all around the world. Summer School students at the University of Edinburgh can enjoy incredible experiences and form friendships to last a lifetime.

You will benefit from face-to-face teaching and lots of contact time on campus with our prestigious University of Edinburgh academic teaching staff, to help you make the most of your summer learning experience.

In addition, to complement the academic content of the course, social activities and educational visits will be offered as part of your experience.

This may include: an Edinburgh city tour, traditional Scottish ceilidh (traditional dance), fudge making class, Edinburgh ghost tour, afternoon tea experience and a day-trip out of Edinburgh to a local visitor attraction.

In your free time outside of the course, we also recommend that you experience life as a local and here are a few examples of things to do:

• Take a trip down to Portobello beach on a sunny day - miles of sandy beaches and tasty eateries await
• Climb up Arthur’s Seat, an extinct volcano in the heart of the city, and take in the incredible vistas of the city itself
• The Meadows is a popular spot for relaxing with friends, watching the world go by and enjoying a picnic in the sun. The park is perfect for joggers and runners too
• Be sure to head down to discover the shops, restaurants and galleries in the popular shore area of Leith - one of the coolest neighbourhoods in Europe
