Accommodation and Transport

Applications for University accommodation will open via the MyEd student portal after you accept your offer.

All new undergraduates who are not already residents of Edinburgh are guaranteed an offer of accommodation. All students who qualify for this guarantee have the same chance of being successful, i.e. allocations are not made on a first come, first served basis.

BVM&S semester dates are slightly different to the majority of other degrees. This means that there are likely to be short periods during the year that the main restaurant will be closed and no meals provided. If you express a preference or receive an offer for catered accommodation at Pollock Halls, you should bear this in mind.

The Easter Bush Campus is served by a number of bus routes.

People under the age of 22 can travel for free on public bus services across Scotland. To be eligible, you must apply for a National Entitlement Card (NEC). Applicants must be resident in Scotland for at least 6 months of the year.

For over 22s, monthly bus passes are available. The School subsidises these proportionally in line with your year of study.

Bus passes cover travel to and from campus as well as across the city bus network outside of study time.
