Summer and Term-time English Courses

The University’s English Language Education centre offers a number of English language courses, including English for Academic Purposes and English for Specific Purposes.

  • You can study these in Edinburgh before your degree programme starts in September.
  • You can also improve your English once your degree programme has begun. Courses in both Academic and General English run for the whole academic year, and you can study from anywhere between 3 and 36 weeks.
