Perspectives in Global Management

Accommodations  

Students stay in a student residence suite with up to five other students. Each student has their own single-occupancy room with en-suite bathroom and a study area. The kitchen and living area is shared. The student residence is centrally located in Edinburgh. There is WiFi throughout the building and a pay-as-you-use laundry facility on-site.

Students arriving early or staying after the program will need to make their own housing arrangements.

UC Davis reserves the right to change the accommodation location. Should this be necessary, we will arrange alternative lodging. Please note that elevators, air conditioners and other modern conveniences may not be available in all locations.

Meals

A welcome dinner and farewell event are included in the program fee, as well as two select group meals. Daily meals are not included in the cost of the program. Each suite has a fully-equipped kitchen for preparing meals. There are grocery stores and cafes within walking distance to lodging.

Get to Know Your Location

Edinburgh, one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, has been nicknamed "the Athens of the North." It's famous for its beautiful buildings and public gardens and for its castle that dominates the city. Edinburgh Castle is located at the top of the Royal Mile, the thoroughfare that runs the length of the "Old Town," the part of Edinburgh that dates from the Middle Ages. Below the castle is the 'New Town," the part of Edinburgh that was carefully planned and laid out in the 18th and 19th centuries. The city is Scotland's cultural capital: it's got wonderful museums and art galleries and each summer it plays host to the Edinburgh Festival and Fringe--Europe's largest arts festival. It also has lots of great cafés, restaurants, and pubs. It's a very pedestrian-friendly city and it's easy to see why visitors fall in love with Edinburgh.

Study Abroad Advisory of Student Risk

Participation in this UC Davis Study Abroad program requires travel to and extended living in a foreign location(s) abroad. UC Davis Study Abroad endeavors to reduce and mitigate risk wherever possible. However, the environments and risks associated with living in these locations are substantially different than those found during a regular course of study at UC Davis. All participants must download and review the following information prior to departure. Any questions should be directed to the Program Coordinator.
