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.
The
People

Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland and
is in one of the country’s most accessible
locations. Edinburgh International airport
offers flights to many European and International
destinations. With an excellent transport
system Edinburgh is 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
probably know Edinburgh for its architecture,
culture and fantastic New Year (Hogmanay)
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.
The
College
By the summer of 2006 Edinburgh’s
Telford College will occupy a custom-built
state of the art £80 million complex

the campus has been designed to make the
process of learning as comfortable, enjoyable
and effective as possible in a bright and
airy learning environment. Fantastic new
