YourEd

YourEd is a project for secondary school students in the south east of Scotland

What's involved?

We arrange visits to your school from:

• former students of your school or town who are now studying at Edinburgh
• University staff sharing their academic passion

We run information sessions and activities on:

• student experience topics like studying, money and social life
• transitions to university, confidence building and study skills
• the types of different degree subjects we offer
• the kinds of careers you can get with a degree from Edinburgh
• course selection and UCAS applications

We provide curriculum support activities such as:

• revision sessions
• student tutors
• academic support for Highers and Advanced Highers
• Challenge Days: fun variety days designed to stretch your academic ability and build your confidence

Activities take place throughout the school year and we offer advice by phone/email. 

We can also organise bespoke open day experiences that include travel organised and paid for by the University of Edinburgh.
