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.

it is home to hundreds of pubs, cafes, restaurants, clubs

You probably know Edinburgh for its architecture,
culture and fantastic New Year (Hogmanay) celebrations. Hosting
the Edinburgh International Festival and Edinburgh Fringe

its history - it comes to life through the many year-round
events.
