Websites, social media and digital services

The University’s websites and digital services are the most important element of our communications mix. They are powerful channels for marketing our success and building the perception of our brand. To provide a cohesive University identity, all public-facing content must be visually associated with the design elements that define our online look. Learn more about our logo, fonts, colours and more on the University Brand support site.

Edinburgh Global Experience Language

Edinburgh Global Experience Language (EdGEL) is the University’s online design language. Built to be mobile-ready and responsive, its purpose is to encourage the use of a coherent design language and design patterns.

Our aim is for users to interact with our information and services, without being aware of the range of technology in the background. EdGEL is jointly managed by Communications and Marketing and the University Website Programme.
