The University of Edinburgh

All our postgraduates benefit from our inspiring research culture. The academics involved in your teaching and learning are leaders in their fields and although the emphasis at postgraduate level is very much on independent study, support from our teaching staff is always on hand.

You will be supported by a combination of academic and professional student experience and administration staff, who will provide you with academic and wellbeing guidance and support.

Our students travel from all over the world to study here and we aim to provide the best range and standard of accommodation possible.

Accommodation for postgraduate students is self-catered and can be found across a range of halls and flats. Flats vary in size, from four to six single study-bedrooms, and are located within easy reach of the University's buildings and the city centre.

The University guarantees an offer of accommodation if:

• you are a new, single postgraduate research (typically PhD) student;

• you are a new, single postgraduate taught (PGT) student, from outside the UK.

Please note that there are certain deadlines to meet in order to guarantee your accommodation offer.

At Edinburgh you will have access to 10 libraries, including the third largest academic library in Europe, millions of printed and online volumes and access to 700,000 electronic journals and databases.

We have an extensive computing network with a variety of open-access machines and specialised computer labs spread across our campus.

You'll benefit from:

• 100 open-access computers in University cafe areas
• over 70 open-access computers in University study pods and study rooms
• 24-hour computer access in key locations
• almost 100% Wi-Fi coverage in our buildings
• free laptop loans from our libraries

We care about the health and wellbeing of our students and offer a number of services to ensure you are fully supported.

Our Health and Wellbeing Centre, a dedicated hub for students, t houses the Student Counselling Service and Disability Services, the University Health Centre and the University Pharmacy.
