INTERNATIONALLY
SPEAKING…
EDINBURGH’S TELFORD COLLEGE IS IN
A CLASS OF ITS OWN.
So you’ve decided to study overseas…where
to study? That’s the first question
you ask yourself before deciding on the
right course. There are some difficult
decisions to make on the road to studying
overseas and it’s reassuring to
find a college that will give you the
guidance and support you need throughout
your studies and help you on the way to
future employment or study. At Edinburgh’s
Telford College we believe that course
flexibility, staff expertise and student
support are the foundation of a college.
We are a forward thinking college moving
to a world class new campus opening in
2006, so now is the time to study at Edinburgh’s
Telford College.
 Why
Scotland...more than haggis, kilts and
cold weather.
Scotland is full of tradition not only
in its culture and hospitality but its
tradition of excellence in education.
A country full of life with people to
match. From the cities to the countryside
Scotland has the best of both worlds.
With loads on offer, from outdoor pursuits,
museums, castles, shopping and lively
nightlife you will find Scotland complements
your life however you like to live it.
And
from the summer of 2005, all overseas
students graduating from Edinburgh’s
Telford College with a Higher National
Diploma can apply to stay on and work
in Scotland for an additional two years
under the government’s Fresh Talent:
Working in Scotland scheme.

made up of rail and bus networks that
operate 24/7 across the city. A bustling
city that continues to develop and diversify,
it is home to hundreds of pubs, cafes,
restaurants, clubs and leisure activities.
You

celebrations. Hosting the Edinburgh International
Festival and Edinburgh Fringe Festival,
Edinburgh’s culture is not just
embedded in its history - it comes to
life through the many year-round events.

By the summer of 2006 Edinburgh’s
Telford College will occupy a custom-built
