Conversations - Let's talk...

We never stop talking and we particularly like talking with students and alumni. Find more ways to join the chat.

The School never stands still and whether it's news about publications, promotions, research grant awards or celebrating our current students and alumni successes we want to shout about it. If you have news please let us know - including you degree and year of graduation - at alumni-hca@ed.ac.uk


We asked students - and the occassional staff member - to write on a wide range of topics. You can read them at the link below, and if there's something you'd like to submit please feel free to contact alumni-hca@ed.ac.uk


'Sharing Things' is a conversation between two members of our university community.  It could be a student, a member of staff or a graduate, the only thing they have in common at the beginning is Edinburgh. It starts with an object, which can be a special, treasured or significant item each guest brings to the conversation. What happens next is sometimes funny, sometimes moving and always unexpected. 

You can listen to episodes of 'Sharing Things' featuring students and alumni from the School at the links below.


Enlightened is the monthly digital newsletter for Edinburgh graduates. It features news about fellow graduates, in-depth features about the alumni community and the University, as well as links to regular content like profiles, the Alumni Bookshelf, and 'Alumni in History'.  Subscribe at the link below.


Platform One emerged from conversations about the University of Edinburgh as a community gathering in a single online location where students, alumni and staff can support each other. Gather, mingle, inspire, encourage and share. Feel free to ask questions, probe ideas, start one-to-one conversations, and be prepared to feel part of something bigger at the link below.
