Edinburgh Colleges

Edinburgh City Region has five excellent colleges.

Attracting numerous young people to the area, Edinburgh colleges play an important role in students’ lives – preparing students either for the world of work or university. They also help prepare overseas students for university, when English is not their first language, with courses in how to speak and write English to a university standard.

New developments include Telford College’s new campus on Edinburgh’s waterfront - the first wireless campus in Europe and Jewel and Esk Valley College’s £53.5m campus redevelopment project.

In this section, you can read a brief overview of the five different Edinburgh colleges, and link to their own websites for full and up to date information.
