Edinburgh College is getting ready to open its doors for two course information days where potential students can find out more about courses starting in August.

Resident subject specialists will be on hand with information about all curriculum areas, advice on studying at all four Edinburgh College campuses and guidance on funding options.
The college is offering over 900 courses in August at levels to suit all needs – from HNC and HND level and associate degree programmes that lead on to university study, to Access courses to get people back into education, community-based courses and industry-approved qualifications.
Edinburgh College offers a range of nationally and internationally recognised courses across a wide variety of subjects.
The college has courses in:
- Business and management
- Computing
- Community and outreach
- Construction and building crafts
- Creative industries
- Childhood practice, health and care
- Engineering
- English for speakers of other languages (ESOL)
- Food, hospitality and tourism

Applications for courses starting in August will open on 2 February. The deadline is 15 May.
Edinburgh College interim principal Elaine McMahon said: “The course information days are great opportunities to find out how the college can help you find the right direction to achieve your goals. Whether you have a clear idea of what you want to do or if you’re looking for help in figuring it out, we’ll be able to support you to make the best decisions.
“Edinburgh College’s courses are designed to give you the skills and practical experience to be prepared for further studies or the workplace, and to succeed when you get there. Our programmes are hands-on and developed with the needs of industry in mind, so you’ll be equipped to hit the ground running.”
Representatives from Herriot Watt, Queen Margaret and Napier Universities will also be on hand to talk about associate student degree programmes. Associate student degrees allow students to study the first two years of their degree course at the college with a guaranteed place at a partner university to complete the final two years.
