Living in Edinburgh

Edinburgh is a city rich in culture and history. 

You’ll never run out of things to do, with botanic gardens, a world-famous arts scene, and dozens of free museums and galleries to visit. There are even seven major festivals held each year, showcasing the best in comedy, music and cinema.

Students from over 180 countries make Edinburgh their home while they earn their degrees. In fact, international students make up around a third of our student body.
