International students
As a truly global university, we offer a range of specialist services designed to make your move to Edinburgh as smooth as possible.
Meet our staff
Our staff regularly make trips abroad to attend education exhibitions and to hold a range of events for prospective applicants as well as pre-departure briefings for offer-holders.
Immigration support service
International students can receive information from the Student Immigration Service’s trained Immigration Advisers, who are available to assist with visa advice, from the initial stage of applying to study in the UK, through to graduation. They can also help with advice on bringing your family to Edinburgh or working during or after your studies.
Advice in your country
We work with a network of agents that can guide you through the application process and advise on immigration matters.
The British Council also provides advice to applicants and can help you plan your studies.
