“Like a favourite book, Edinburgh is a city you'll want to dip into again and again, savouring each time a different image or experience…” Lonely Planet Guide to Edinburgh, 2010

Edinburgh really does have the best of everything – stunning architecture, abundant green spaces, world famous museums, galleries and theatres and a lively social scene with the most bars, restaurants and shops in any UK city outside of London.

These are just some of the reasons why thousands of international, European and UK students choose to study in Scotland’s capital each year.

Edinburgh’s compact size also means you can get around easily, cheaply and safely. There is a good transport network as well as direct links to many other cities throughout the UK and overseas.

Edinburgh is also home to 4 Universities and 3 Colleges which means that the city has a young profile and is buzzing with cultural events throughout the year. In the summer, the Edinburgh International Arts Festival brings music, comedy, film, theatre and literature to the city. Each year ends with the largest Hogmanay Street Party in Europe, which sees people from all over the world come to celebrate our New Year.
