Join our Social & Cultural Programme to make the most of your summer in Edinburgh!

Every week during the Summer School, we organise two-afternoon visits, one evening activity and one full-day Saturday excursion to places of interest in and around Edinburgh. You will have the chance to explore some of the historical and cultural highlights of our beautiful city, as well as having time to get to know your classmates better outside the classroom. We want you to get the most out of your course - and out of Edinburgh too! All of our scheduled social and cultural activities are led by our knowledgeable activity leaders. All entrance tickets and coach hire for trips out of Edinburgh are included in the price you pay for the social and cultural programme.
