Opportunities and support for international students.
Global community
The University of Edinburgh is home to staff and students from over 130 countries. The University is well aware of the big cultural and intellectual changes involved in moving to a different country, and we work to make the transition easier by creating a welcoming, friendly environment.
The International Student Advisory Service provides students with a range of support services and social opportunities to help you make the most of your time in Edinburgh, including:
- welcome and orientation events
- social and cultural opportunities
- immigration advice and student welfare support.
