The School of Divinity offers a unique location within the University of Edinburgh. We have a fabulous city centre location, within easy reach of shops, restaurants and bars and on many bus routes. This means that we are set slightly apart from the main campus but, within easy reach of the University’s main facilities. New College offers its own nucleus of study. Not only can you carry out all of your learning in one building, but we also have our own magnificent library, study space and café. All of this is available in the beautiful New College building which is an inspiring and welcoming place to study.
