Please be aware:

  • Our partners change from year to year and we cannot guarantee that exchanges with current partners will be offered in future years. Partner information is correct at the time of publishing, but may be subject to change.  
  • Studying abroad at an institution with which the University of Edinburgh does not have a formal exchange agreement is not permitted.
  • New exchange agreements cannot be created for individual students, and students are not permitted to create exchange agreements themselves.
