About Us

Welcome to Stevenson College Edinburgh

Based in the West of Edinburgh, we are one of the largest further education Colleges in Scotland and enrol around 18,000 students a year.

We offer a range of courses from Introductory courses and NQs (National Qualifications) through to HNDs (Higher National Diplomas), BTECs and Degree Foundation. We now also offer Degree level courses in Music Performance and Photography.

We have a variety of study modes available from full-time, part-time, day release, evening, e-learning and open learning. You can find out more information about the range of courses we have on offer in our courses section.

The College also runs a number of vocational programmes as well as European Funded Programmes.

In addition, Stevenson works closely with the community to attract more people into learning and provide help for people who need to improve their employability skills.

International Students

The College is proud of its international student population and welcomes over 1,000 EU and international students each year onto English Language, Foundation and HNC/HND programmes. 

Gender and Disability Equality

We are proud to be one of just two colleges in Scotland to receive the LGBT Youth Scotland Charter Mark. Awarded by the charity LGBT Youth Scotland, the Mark recognises organisations' high standards of support for young lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and trans-gender individuals.

Stevenson College Edinburgh is committed to promoting inclusion and diversity for all staff and students, as noted in our Strategic Plan. You can also see our Gender Equality Scheme and Action Plan for more information. 

We have worked hard to ensure that our Disability Equality Scheme produces real outcomes and practical improvements to the experiences and opportunities of disabled people, both as staff and students. You can see our Disability and Equality Annual Report for more information.
