Choosing A University In Edinburgh

When deciding which college and university to attend, it’s a good idea to go along to their open days. This is a vital opportunity to experience the university for yourself, glimpse life as a student, meet course tutors and ask questions. Open days are free. For more information, look at the dedicated open days website.

To help you make up your mind, compare the institution’s quality and reputation, courses and levels of qualifications, costs, fees and its location. 

Unsure what to study?

Don’t panic – you’re not alone. Many people find it hard to decide. Start by being honest with yourself: list your interests and what excites and motivates you. What are your strengths – and where would you like to improve? Take the Stamford Test on the UCAS website.  It suggests which vocations might be right for you.
