Tours
Edinburgh. Extraordinary futures await.

Campus visit

Student-led tours are ideal for visitors to the city who want to find out more about student life and our campuses. We provide tours for both the Central Campus and King’s Buildings Campus.

Our campus tours are for potential undergraduates and postgraduates from all over the world,  interested in any subject. The focus of the tour is on what it is like to be a student at Edinburgh, but you will also be sent a recorded presentation to provide you with further information about the University.

The campus tour is free to attend, but you must book your space in advance. Family and friends are also welcome, however, we kindly request only  one additional guest  accompanies you on the tour. This is in order to ensure there is as much availability for prospective students as possible.

Please note that we are unable to offer detailed subject-specific information as part of this tour, and it will not include meetings with subject areas or potential supervisors.   

We will explore all options to avoid cancelling our tours, however there may be rare occasions where tours are cancelled at the last minute due to unforeseen circumstances. We are unable to accept liability for any costs incurred by visitors (e.g. travel, accommodation). You might want to consider travel insurance or flexible tickets.
