We live in a complex, fast-changing world and we’re honest about the significant challenges facing us all. As a leading global university, we know education will play a vital role solving those challenges and relish our shared responsibility to respond to them.
As the world comes to terms with the lasting effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, we’re committed to being open to everyone. We will widen access to higher education and bring people together from a range of backgrounds and experiences. We welcome people with new outlooks and perspectives into an international community that values each individual and the contribution they make. Together, we will be open to change. We will adapt and work in new ways that disrupt the status quo and overturn established ways of thinking. We will do this without boundaries, in facilities where our students, academics and researchers come together with the public and private sectors to learn from each other and work in tandem to create new solutions. For more than 400 years, we’ve seen the benefits such collaborations bring. Being open to the world today brings greater potential and possibilities for tomorrow. 04 www.ed.ac.uk/undergraduate/degrees Undergraduate Guide 2022 The University of Edinburgh 05
For you, those possibilities start with the 58 subjects and almost 400 degrees we offer. Many of these are joint honours degrees, offering innovative cross-disciplinary subject combinations. Some of our degrees let you study a single subject in depth, developing a deep understanding of one area. Others feature an open and flexible structure with options to tailor your own studies. This lets you choose whether to experience a wide range of topics before you specialise, or sample multiple subjects in a broader degree. Our global links offer you possibilities for fieldwork, industry placements and study abroad opportunities, and our research-led, industry-informed teaching incorporates the latest developments in your field.
“My programme is preparing me for my future career by addressing issues from many different perspectives, which is necessary in our globalised world, as well as presenting me with opportunities to volunteer and go abroad.”

As one of Scotland’s four ‘ancient’ universities, many of our full-time degrees in the humanities and social sciences are undergraduate masters qualifications that require four years of study. In science and engineering we offer four-year bachelors degrees or five-year integrated masters. We also offer a smaller number of other qualifications including LLB, as well as a few degrees with shorter or longer full-time study durations. These range from three to five or even six years (MBChB Medicine). If you have excelled at your studies so far, you may have the option to start in the second year of some of our science, engineering and art and design degrees. We also offer an expanding range of options for students on a Higher National Certificate or Diploma. Alternatively, if you’re considering a year out before you go to university, you may be able to apply for deferred entry.*
*Applications for BVM&S Veterinary Medicine or international applications for MBChB Medicine will not be considered for deferred entry. Please contact us to check before you apply. 08 www.ed.ac.uk/access-edinburgh Undergraduate Guide 2022 The University of Edinburgh 09
