Postgraduate Virtual Open Days

Next event: 17-19 November 2026. This event comprises 180+ live webinars covering our on-campus postgraduate programmes.

Who this event is for

The Virtual Open Days are designed for anyone considering on-campus postgraduate study at the University of Edinburgh who would like to find out more information about the programmes they are interested in.

I feel far more informed about the programme I would like to join. All the speakers were extremely well-spoken, engaging and competent. 

What happens at the Open Days

The Virtual Open Days consists of live webinar sessions. There are:

  • webinars covering our masters and PhD programmes, with opportunities to hear from, and live text chat with, the academic staff that teach on them
  • webinars delivered by our professional services and student support staff who will outline the support available to you as a student at Edinburgh
  • live panel sessions where current students and recent graduates answer your questions and share their experiences
  • live text-chat sessions with Admissions teams where you can speak one-to-one with members of staff who can answer your specific questions

Join us live or watch a recording

The sessions will take place in UK local time, so check what time the sessions will take place in your local time zone.   

You will get the most out of this event by attending the live sessions, as you will have the chance to participate and ask questions.   

However, the sessions will also be recorded. If you register but cannot attend live, you will be sent a link to the recordings so you can watch them in your own time.
