Got an offer to study at Edinburgh Futures Institute? Join our live online sessions this July to explore what learning here is really like, from our Futures approach to student-led projects and how reading works at postgraduate level. Each session offers insight into our teaching, values, and what your journey at EFI could look like.

Explore what learning at EFI feels like

We’re running a short series of live, online sessions this July to give offer holders a real taste of EFI’s teaching approach. These sessions aren’t just presentations, they’re interactive, thought-provoking, and designed to help you picture your own journey with us.

Each one explores a different aspect of EFI learning: how we think about the future, how students shape their own projects, and how we approach reading and critical engagement. They’re informal, welcoming, and open to all EFI offer holders, no matter which programme or study mode you’ve chosen.

What to expect:

  • Three themed sessions, each run live twice in one day (morning and afternoon, UK time)
  • A chance to connect with EFI academics and hear directly from the people who’ll shape your learning
  • An opportunity to experience our teaching model first-hand

Recordings and follow-up resources shared afterwards via the Digital Offer Holder Hub

Why join?

These sessions are designed to help you get a real feel for what studying at EFI is like. Whether you’ve already made up your mind or are still exploring your options, you’re very welcome to join.
