Different backgrounds and cultures
MSc students have common lectures and seminars so they learn together and make lasting friendships. Meeting people who come from different backgrounds and cultures is a major advantage of studying at Edinburgh that will last far beyond the time spent at university.
The average number of students on the MSc programme is about 65. About 40% are from the European Union and the United Kingdom, and 60% come from outside the EU. Of the non EU students, they come from a range of countries, including Afghanistan, Argentina, Australia, Azerbaijan, Canada, Chile, Ghana, Iceland, India, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, South Africa, Turkey, Ukraine, and the United States, and about 25% of our overseas students are Chinese.
