The University of Edinburgh

While university life is full of extraordinary opportunities, it can also be overwhelming. We appreciate that coming to university can be challenging, and we’re committed to helping you access consistent information, guidance, care and support when and in the way you need it.

Academic support

Your first point of contact for teaching, academic advice and guidance will be within the School in which you study. You will be supported by a combination of academic and dedicated student experience and administrative staff who will be able to provide you with or direct you to appropriate support for challenges that may occur during your studies, whether this is directly related to your learning and teaching skills or rising from life situations.

You will also have access to a variety of peer-to-peer learning networks as well as student societies. 

International students will be supported with events and information to settle in and with activities designed to support your experiences as a student.
