WHY STUDY IN EDINBURGH?

Edinburgh has been consistently at the forefront of Scotland’s academic and cultural prowess, from the medical, scientific, intellectual and aesthetic achievements of the Scottish Enlightenment right up to the present day, where it is still regarded as a centre of excellence across the entire spectrum of Arts and Sciences. Appellations such as ‘Athens of the North’ or ‘Festival City’ pay homage to the wonderful architecture and vibrant cultural experience which the city has to offer.

Moreover, with no fewer than eight major international festivals, world class Art Galleries and museums, a top ten global ranking as a Conference venue, the presence of some of the world’s major international Financial Institutions and probably the greatest tourist magnet in the UK outside London, it’s not hard to see why the demand to study in Edinburgh is as great as anywhere else in the UK.

Visiting other parts of the UK from Scotland’s capital city is also easy. Road links in all directions from Edinburgh are first class, and there are buses, trains and planes to all major UK cities and tourist destinations. Even London is only 5 hours away by train, and less than 2 hours by air!
