Event details

The ECA offering at each Open Day will be slightly different. Here is an overview of what is happening and when, so you can decide which event is best for you to attend.

  • Hosted at Edinburgh College of Art

  • School introductory talks

  • See graduate student work and talk to the students about their experience at ECA
  • ECA facilities tours, and a chance to explore ECA and its spaces
  • There will not be central services information (e.g. Accommodation, funding, student life etc.) but includes How to Apply and Portfolio Guidance talks from Programme Directors and Admissions
  • Parents Hub; the chance to ask our Student Support Team any questions

We recommend that where possible, students interested in studying Architecture (including Landscape Architecture and Interior Design), Fine Art and Design attend on this date in June, as the most comprehensive subject-specific programme is on offer for these subjects.

  • Hosted at the University's Central campus

  • Subject area introductory talks
  • School information desks
  • University-wide event including all subject areas and central services, accommodation etc.

  • There will be no opportunities to see Edinburgh College of Art facilities, studios or workshops on this date; this is due to the Graduate Show being dismantled. There will however be tours offered for Music and Acoustics & Music Technology.
