Who we support
The University of Edinburgh believes that diversity is educationally as well as socially desirable, enriching the educational experience for all. We therefore seek to attract a wide range of applicants from different social, cultural and educational backgrounds.
The University is engaged with prospective students, their families and advisers in a wide range of Widening Participation awareness and aspiration-raising projects and activities aimed at students who are:
- first generation to consider higher education
- from low socio economic groups
- attending schools where relatively few students go on to higher education
- living in low participation neighbourhoods
- mature students from the above groups
- looked after / accommodated children or care leavers
