I learned a lot about myself and who I am. You have to dig deep when you are thrown into a completely foreign environment for an extended period of time. Noah L - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I had a great time at the University of Edinburgh! I learned a lot about the history and culture of Scotland, I made friends from around the world, and I got better at managing my own life (meal planning, grocery shopping, cooking, keeping up with dishes, etc).

I gained a greater appreciation for travel and diving deep into the places I live. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned to be alone and even more self-reliant. More importantly, I learned how much I value and need social interaction. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Independence, existing in a city and figuring out how I like to spend my time. It was certainly worthwhile! A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Definitely worthwhile...gained new academic experience at a school entirely different from my home university (in a positive way), general life skills being more independent and living in a foreign country, and of course expanded my global worldview and international experience. I made memories that I will literally cherish for ... Elizabeth U - Wellesley College View Entire Review

It was very worthwhile. I learned about other historic and contemporary legal systems, which expanded my thinking about helped put my understanding of US law into perspective. A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
An understanding of how students are thinking outside of my own institution, outside of the U.S. Invaluable friendships that continue to be the source of so much happiness and support even from afar. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned that I am capable of navigating a completely new space by myself. I loved living abroad and exploring a different part of the world. I also appreciated the break from the academic rigor of Wellesley, but I still found that I learned a lot in my classes. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned more about living as an independent person, especially living in a small city; there was an emphasis on exploration and discovery that I often had to do while on my own. While there were ups and downs, the experience was definitely worth while. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
While abroad, I learned about everything from living in a new country to facts about the country's history, culture, and politics. The experience was definitely worth it! A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I gained a deeper understanding of how fortunate I was to have been given to opportunity to go abroad. I gained new experiences of a brand new continent, people, and culture, where I able to share with my entire family back home, who vicariously lived through me. As a first generation student, this is an experience I will keep f... A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned that there is always opportunity to explore on my own. Alnaw E - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Good friends and more confidence in myself. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
More knowledge for/appreciation of traditional Scottish culture. Better understanding of UK society including emphasis on social class and general political viewpoints. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
You meet so many different people from so many different backgrounds and you learn so much about yourself and the world. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned to be more mature and independent as there was a lot to figure out as I lived abroad. It was totally worth it! A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned a lot about Scottish literature & history; my courses explored a lot of questions & concepts that I have studied in the states, but applied them to a new landscape, which allowed me to learn a lot. I also grew a lot just by living in a new city in a more independent way than I am used to. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself. I think the experience was worthwhile and I am glad I did it. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
It was worth it because I got to know so many new and interesting people. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Travel and independence. Worthwhile, yes, but I wouldn't do it again. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned a lot of cooking and did some amazing travelling through Scotland. Definitely worthwhile. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned how to function largely on my own without the safety net of my support systems from home and from Wellesley. While certainly worthwhile, my own mental preparation was lacking and detracted from my experience. However, I learned a lot about myself and my priorities. As a result of my study abroad experience, I have beco... A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
About
Edinburgh offers a wide range of courses and you will be taught alongside students who enrolled on full degree courses in Edinburgh. We will always try to offer you a place on the courses you choose, but space may be limited in Honours level (3rd year) courses in popular subject areas. If you want to take Honours courses you need to show you have prior knowledge of the subject (a minimum of 3 or 4 University courses in the subject, which you passed with good grades). Meeting these requirements does not guarantee entry to a course, but we will try and offer you a suitable alternative if space is not available.
You can apply online. In addition to your completed application we also require a personal statement, an academic reference (from a faculty member who has taught you at your home institution), and an official transcript from your home institution. Through your online account you can upload supporting documents and track the progress of your application.
Candidates are expected to have a good academic record with a good ‘B’ average (for applicants from North America this translates into a GPA of 3.0 or above).
