Coming to Edinburgh as a Visiting Student

If you are currently studying at a University outwith the UK, then you may be able to spend time at The University of Edinburgh as a visiting student. The time you spend studying here can count towards the final degree awarded by your home university.

We welcome many international students to Informatics each year and have a wide range of courses on offer for suitably prepared visiting students.
