I have really improved my English since coming here. I am hoping to get into university in September to study Ecology."

How do I travel from Japan to Edinburgh?

It is easy to travel to Edinburgh from Japan. You can fly via many international hubs, for example Amsterdam (KLM) or London (British Airways or BMI) and onto Edinburgh in approximately one hour. A free airport pick up service is available when you arrive.

For most courses, a variety of Lower/Upper Secondary School certificates will be required. A technical high school Certificate will also be considered for certain subjects.
