Adding an international dimension to your degree programme allows you to become immersed in a new culture, make new friends, obtain a working knowledge of another language and realise a degree of self-reliance which future employers will regard as a big asset.

Edinburgh College of Art has formal arrangements with counterpart specialist institutions all over the world. These links may allow our students to spend a period of study in an institution in another country. And, likewise, allow international students the opportunity to study in Edinburgh for part of their programme. The network of links is developing all the time and each year there are new opportunities for students to take up exchanges. 

We have exchange places in countries throughout Europe through the Erasmus programme. We also have arrangements with a number of institutions outside the EU and across the world.

Further information regarding studying abroad, prospective exchanges, summer programmes and information for current visiting students, including how to apply and who to contact, is available from the University of Edinburgh Visting Student Office.
