Studying in Edinburgh -a world leading festival city

Study in the world’s leading festival city and your education will extend well beyond the campus. 

In the summer months, the city becomes the cultural capital of the world. More than 17,000 performers appear in over 2,000 different shows (over 150 of which are free). The beautiful city of Edinburgh provides an astonishing backdrop to the film premiers, dance performances and musical spectaculars. Venues range from medieval streets to city parks, theatres to churches. The city’s Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is the epicentre of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and features an array of street theatre.

During the city’s Winter festivals, the city’s cosmopolitan bars and restaurants provide protection from the elements when partying at the world’s largest Hogmanay Street party or gliding across the UK’s largest outdoor ice rink.

The year round programme of festivals and steady tourism market ensure that summer part time jobs are plentiful.  Chauffeur a Hollywood legend to a premiere or operate a lighting rig for comedy’s next big thing.
