IFSA - UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH PARTNERSHIP
Edinburgh, Scotland
WHY STUDY IN CITY?
Glasgow has been voted European City of Culture and is home to the national Scottish ballet, orchestra, and chorus. It’s also known as one of the U.K.’s top cities for both traditional and extreme sports. Glasgow offers students the perfect mix of trendy west end cafés and restaurants, a wide range of shopping in the sophisticated Merchant City, and the green space of the country parks surrounding the city.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
With a sterling reputation for academic excellence that stretches back to 1583, the University of Edinburgh is also looking to the future. Witness the university’s Edinburgh Futures Institute, a thought lab focused on global challenges. (Hint: Check out the class Creating Edinburgh: The Interdisciplinary City, popular with IFSA students.)
The university also offers 290 societies and 60 sports clubs. Trampoline, anyone? History is everywhere, from the university paper—The Student, founded in 1887 by Robert Louis Stevenson—to Edinburgh Castle, a mark of Scottish resilience and strength for centuries.
Take time out to recharge in one of the city’s countless green spaces. Explore iconic Old Town and the streets that influenced the wizarding world of Harry Potter. Take the legendary pilgrimage to the top of Arthur’s Seat and see the city spread at your feet.
You can’t leave Scotland without experiencing its raw natural beauty. The unforgettable IFSA Highland excursion makes it easy, and it’s included (no extra fees). Explore icons like the Three Sisters peaks, Loch Ness, and Dunnottar castle, as you gain an insider’s view of the historical events that shaped the country’s history and culture.
