To give prospective students the opportunity to speak to lecturers about their application and course options for the 2024/25 session, Edinburgh College is hosting a course clearing exam results drop-in session at its Sighthill Campus on Friday 9 August.

From 10.30m to 3pm, prospective students of all ages will be able to speak to course teams about their options following the release of exam results, and will get the chance to secure a place on a course for the upcoming academic session.

Those who have changed their mind about their original course choice, or who have not yet made an application for college but would like to study this year are also encouraged to attend.

Edinburgh College offers courses across a wide range of subject areas within the Creative Industries, Engineering and Construction, Health, Wellbeing and Social Sciences, and Tourism, Hospitality and Business faculties. Courses are delivered in a variety of study modes, including full-time and part-time study, and cater to the diverse needs of today’s student.

As well as this, Student Services will be on hand at the event to provide advice on funding options and access to learning support for those who are seeking further information about their study options for the coming year.

Those who cannot attend Friday’s drop-in session can call the College’s clearing phoneline between 10am and 4pm from Monday 5 August until Tuesday 13 August. Staff will be taking calls to give advice based on students’ specific situations and helping begin course applications. The clearing phone number is: 0131 297 8300.

Audrey Cumberford, Edinburgh College Principal, said: “Clearing day is a very important time for applicants and prospective students who are still considering their next steps. We would encourage anyone who is unsure about their existing application or is thinking about starting a new course in 2024/25 to get advice from our teams at our clearing event. At Edinburgh College, our fantastic range of courses are not only delivered by expert teaching staff, but are also designed to provide students with the skills they need to either continue their learner journey or achieve their chosen career. Come along and start your future at our clearing event.”
