Visiting students
Find out how you can study at the School as a visiting student.
If you're an international student interested in the University of Edinburgh, you might consider applying to study here as a visiting student. A visiting or exchange student spends up to one year studying at Edinburgh before returning to their home institution to complete their degree.
With the Study Abroad programme you can come to the University of Edinburgh for one or two semesters, or the entire academic year. You will pay tuition fees while studying here and acquire credit which will go towards the degree you receive from your home institution.
You can apply for European exchange if you are currently enrolled in your first year (or above) of study at a European institution which has an exchange agreement with the University of Edinburgh AND your home institution has nominated you to study with us.

Students outside of Europe can come to study at the University as part of the International Exchange.
