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.
