Dates: Fall: late Sept-mid Dec; Spring: Jan-mid June;

Description: Study for spring term, fall term or a full academic year in Edinburgh, Scotland, a city that attracts over two million visitors every year. It's architecture, dramatic landscape, and location make it one of Europe's most attractive cities; a city that offers visiting students an unforgettable learning experience. Choose from thousands of courses at University of Edinburgh and earn academic credit while studying alongside Scottish students in this incredible location.

Highlights: With half a million inhabitants, on a fine hilly site running down to the sea, the city of Edingburgh, Scotland is compact enough to provide easy access to all the cultural, social, shopping and other facilities you expect of a capital, and also offers plenty of opportunities to sample Scotland's fine unspoiled countryside, seashore and mountains, which are within easy reach.

An orientation is provided to students when they arrive on campus. The orientation is designed to make visiting students feel at home and get settled in before classes begin.

International Day and Freshers' Week (September)
If you are a visiting student beginning in October, you are encouraged to arrive in time for International Orientation Day. This is followed by Freshers' Week (orientation for all new students, home and overseas). This week is designed to allow you time to settle in before classes begin. There is a huge program of talks, tours and entertainment for all students designed to make you feel at home as soon as possible. Freshers' Week is the largest in the UK and caters for all tastes be it comedy, clubs, pubs, quizzes, theatre, or even a ceilidh (Scottish group dancing - highly recommended!)

January Orientation
For part-year students arriving in January a welcome day with a program of events is organized, allowing students the opportunity to ask questions and receive information about settling in. This day offers students the same information as those arriving in October, and the opportunity to meet other part-year students.
