The strategy
Edinburgh Global is the University’s strategy for internationalisation.
Our aspiration is to become a place of first choice in the minds of the world.
Therefore, increasing our international reputation for quality learning, research and knowledge transfer is at the heart of future activity.

University-wide initiative
Our success will be dependent on the energy, goodwill and outward-looking attitude of everyone at the University, staff and students.
We are a distinctly Scottish University based in Scotland’s capital, but our reach and aspirations are international and it is in that context we must be measured. We operate on an international stage and this must be reflected in all areas of University life; from our students and staff, to our collaborations that tackle problems transcending national boundaries, and in the important intellectual and societal contributions we make.
Professor Sir Timothy O’Shea
Principal
Objectives
To achieve this international reputation we aim to:
- increase international understanding of what we stand for and what we offer
- attract the best students
- continue recruiting world-class researchers
- create international partnerships based on student-related teaching and research
- generate knowledge that is used by businesses and governments worldwide
Actions
One result of this collaboration is the creation of Global Academies within the University.
