University of Edinburgh Accommodation

Courses and fees

There are more than 600 courses on offer at the University of Edinburgh, structured across three colleges and 22 schools. As part of the Russell Group of universities, the University of Edinburgh is dedicated to offering the highest quality courses in the country. The university doesn’t use the UCAS points system, but rather judges entry based on your grades. Entry typically requires BBB at A-Levels, plus relevant C grades at GCSE.

Facilities

Even though the University of Edinburgh is one of the oldest in the world, it has an array of modern facilities for its students. A £44m veterinary studies building is currently being developed, while a recent refurbishment to the Centre for Sport of Exercise, the Business School and the School of Information has provided a welcome boost to these vital facilities.

Accommodation

The largest accommodation is at Pollock Halls, which caters for around 1,900 students and is situated on the outskirts of Holyrood Park. Most rooms here are single dorms with shared facilities. Breakfast and dinner is provided from Monday to Friday, and it’s not just beans on toast: the halls have been awarded the Healthy Living Award and the Eat Safe Award for the food on offer. In 2013-2014 it cost between £122 and £236 to live there.

Open days

You’ll be shown around the campus, get to meet other students and will also meet the tutors who will be guiding you through study.
