    Focus on Europe

    The University and Europe

    To celebrate the sense of European community that is felt on campus, the University took part in Europe Day on 9 May 2018. This strong feeling of community can be seen in the number of societies, events, students and staff at the University who have a European connection.

    Innovations in mobility: the NICE project

    The NICE project is a three-year EU funded project which places students into international teams to resolve global and societal challenges. We spoke to Anna Creery and John Bennett in the Go Abroad team about how the project got started, and what their hopes are for its future.

    Clouds over the Castle. Whilst on a walk in Edinburgh shortly after I arrived, I stumbled upon this unexpected view of the castle, which has now become one of my favourite spots in Edinburgh.
