Learn English in Scotland’s capital city

Edinburgh College is one of Scotland’s largest colleges, with around 26,000 students across four campuses in Edinburgh City. We offer a range of high-quality English language courses for young adults, high-school students, adults and professionals. We also offer English Plus courses for groups, which combine English language classes with other subject areas across our four faculties: 

  • Creative Industries 
  • Engineering and Construction 
  • Health, Wellbeing and Social Sciences 
  • Tourism, Hospitality and Business 

The British Council accredits Edinburgh College for the teaching of English in the UK, so our courses are externally inspected and meet high-quality standards.

Every member of your team was exceptional and I had a great time at the college. Our main teacher was excellent and every time we had a problem, a member of the international team was there for us. Thanks!
