At Symposium Edinburgh, we aim to make your course choice the right one for your linguistic and professional needs. We also wish to ensure that your stay in Edinburgh is a uniquely memorable one, in a magical city to which you will wish to return time and again as you might visit an old friend…

Few cities in the world are as dramatically beautiful as Scotland's capital city Edinburgh. Built on and around seven volcanic hills, Edinburgh boasts a cityscape perhaps without equal in Europe.

Standing on its own precipitous rock and dating back to the early Middle-Ages, Edinburgh Castle looks over the city's two historic and contrasting areas: the Old and New Towns. The spectacular mediaeval, 16th and 17th century architecture of the Old Town and the equally imposing buildings of the Georgian New Town combine gracefully to make Edinburgh a quite breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage Site. Shot through with a vivid Northern light and with open, airy views to the hills and sea around, the city is blessed with a beauty for all seasons.

With a full calendar of events including the world's premier Arts Festival, a wealth of historic monuments, museums and galleries, parks and gardens as well as a bewildering variety of pubs and restaurants, a stay in Edinburgh is a truly enchanting experience whatever the time of year.

Long a seat of learning as well as a centre of cultural and commercial excellence, you will find that the city of David Hume, Adam Smith and Walter Scott is the refined choice when combining study and culture in the English-speaking world…and all of course within easy reach of the awesome natural and historical heritage of Scotland itself - its mountains, lochs and castles, a peerless beauty amongst nations!

Welcome to unforgettable Edinburgh.
