Edinburgh College is holding a Course Drop-In Surgery on Friday 12 August for anyone who wishes to discuss their options for starting a college course this year.

Course advisors and funding experts will be on hand to give students support with fast track applications for courses with places available for starting in August.

Course Drop-In Surgery
Friday 12 August 2016
