Alumni benefits - ¹ú²úÂÒÂ× for life
As a ¹ú²úÂÒÂ× alum, you’ve got lifelong access to a range of great benefits to help you along - whether that’s in your career, personal life, or next creative project.
Thinking about your next move?
If you’ve been considering a return to study, don’t forget that ¹ú²úÂÒÂ× graduates can get an Alumni Discount. It offers reduced fees on a variety of postgraduate courses. It’s a great way to gain new skills, change direction, or become an expert in your field with a university you already know and trust.
Grow your network
We host annual alumni get-togethers in Edinburgh and London. These are great, informal opportunities to see old friends, make new professional contacts, and keep your ties to ¹ú²úÂÒÂ× strong.
Are you a ¹ú²úÂÒÂ× international student or graduate? Do you know someone in your home country who would like to study at ¹ú²úÂÒÂ×? If you refer them and if they go on to become a ¹ú²úÂÒÂ× student, you could receive £150.
