Visit Us

At the School of Engineering we believe it is important for all new students to have the opportunity to visit the University before commencing their studies, whether in person as part of one of our Open Days or online through our Virtual Visits.

Open Days are a great opportunity to come and see the University for yourself. You can find out about student life in Edinburgh from the people who know it best - our students and staff. You can also explore the campus, learn more about the range of degrees available and ask questions about admissions, accommodation and job prospects. Booking will open approximately six weeks in advance of each Open Day.

If you are unable to attend an open day, we offer other opportunities to visit the School.

We have self guided tours of the King's Building Campus and the George Square Campus available.

Every autumn we organise a series of online events where you will get the opportunity to listen to presentations from members of academic staff and students, and the chance to ask any questions. The discipline-specific presentations cover:

  • Programme structure and career options
  • Student support
  • Careers options
  • Student experience
  • Life in the city of Edinburgh
