Yes, very worthwhile. Useful for my major as it gave me more insight into European and British politics and international law. Also just a good life experience overall, and trips while I was in Europe to Germany, Hungary, France, Switzerland, etc. were all great learning experiences. Olivia Griffin - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
SO much. How to travel, to be independent, how to deal with culture shock, cooking, etc. Yes. A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
To explore the world and not get so caught up in school. A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I had the most amazing time, learned to rely and trust myself, met people who were happy and made me happy, and felt free for the first time in a long time. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Being abroad is like taking a semester off from Wellesley. VERY WORTHWHILE. Still had to work but no busy work so just studying on your own. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned how to be more independent and crawl outside my comfort zone. Although I struggled personally during the program, I don believe it was the fault of the system, and so I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to study abroad that have not studied a second language enough for immersion programs. Edinburgh is a fanta... A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned the value of understanding other cultures, the different ways that other universities teach and other students in other countries learn and study, and how different my experience as a student could be at another school. I got to travel to so many places I wouldn't have been able to. It was incredibly worthwhile. A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I learned so much about myself and the world. I would do it again in a heart beat. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
My first time leaving the states, Edinburgh was an incredible experience I will never forget. The proximity of Edinburgh to London also allowed easy travel. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Studying in Edinburgh for the year was the best decision I've made in my college career. I absolutely loved the city, the university, and the people. I learned how to be more independent, from cooking for myself to traveling alone to figuring out how to manage my own coursework and studying. Leaving Edinburgh was incredibly hard...

Edinburgh provided an amazing experience, forcing me to be an 'adult.' I lived, studied, and traveled abroad for 5 months. Although scary and daunting at times, study abroad made me more confident, made me more comfortable spending time alone, etc. Plus you meet some pretty great people, as well.

That I want to do a post-grad program at Edinburgh Uni! Hannah W - Barnard College View Entire Review
I learned that I am more independent than I thought I would be. I also learned that I cannot live somewhere that is cold for the majority of the year. But, in the end it was worthwhile. I got to meet some amazing people. had some fun adventures, and got the chance to travel throughout Europe. Tiffany L - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned how incredibly fun exploring a new place is, and how to be myself and stand on my own, without the comforts of old friends and family. I learned more about myself, and how to build a community in a new place. It was absolutely worthwhile, I almost think going on exchange/studying abroad should be mandatory, especially ...

Studying abroad allowed me to gain independence and it gave me the chance to see the world through a new lens. I am very thankful for my experience. A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I learned how to manage my time and the amount of outside work that I needed to complete in order to preform well in my classes. A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Scotland's an amazing country. It was extremely worthwhile. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned how to be independent and outgoing. It was very worthwhile. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
i believed this was a very worthwhile experience. Going abroad gives a lot of perspective about the world around you. You will meet so many new people and those interactions will help you grow as a person. Avanti P - Wellesley College View Entire Review
It was definitely worth while. I made many friends who I still chat with on facebook and was able to do the activities I do here at Midd. I liked seeing a new place and I wish I had spent more time out seeing things because there is so much to do in Edinburgh. I learned that I like Scotland and want to go back. Richard L - Middlebury College View Entire Review
The most worthwhile thing for me was the experience of living on my own in a city, in a flat rather than a dorm. That was a valuable lesson in independence, and I definitely think it was worthwhile. I also appreciated this program because it was so different from my home college. It was good to experience a different kind of uni... A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
While the academics and knowledge are there, I learned the most about myself. The time that I had to be away from home challenged me to become a better person and student and I greatly appreciate the opportunity that this experience gave me. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
It was definitely worthwhile to spend a semester in Scotland, though spending Wellesley tuition for Edinburgh education and lack of personal attention was pretty disappointing. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Due to the fact that I only had class 3 times a week, I had to administer a way to study, travel, and have an active social life. Thus, in its own way, I learned some valuable time management skills. A student - Baylor University View Entire Review
I got to travel a lot, cook for myself, and I learned how to really be alone. Teach through fire I guess. A student - Middlebury 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).
