| Introduction to the Degree Regulations and Programmes of Study 2020/21The academic life of the University of Edinburgh is structured into three
        Colleges: the College of Humanities and Social Science, the College of
        Medicine and Veterinary Medicine, and the College of Science and Engineering.
        The three Colleges comprise a total of 22 Schools, grouped according to
        cognate academic disciplines. The University also validates degrees offered
        by other institutions such as  the Scottish
        Agricultural College. Prospective students should refer to the Undergraduate
        and Postgraduate pages of the University website (http://www.ed.ac.uk/)
        to find out more about the full range of subjects that can be studied
        at the University. The Degree Regulations and Programmes of Study provides information on
        the programmes of study offered by the University of Edinburgh, and sets
        out the regulatory framework by which these are governed, together with
        the regulations and codes that govern the general context of a student’s
        academic career at the University. The University also recognises regulations
        in respect of those degrees offered by other institutions and validated
        by the University, and relevant additional information is provided where
        appropriate. It is recommended that any student referring to the Degree Regulations
        and Programmes of Study in the context of decisions about their programme
        of study do so in consultation with their Personal Tutor (for undergraduate
        and taught postgraduate students) or Supervisor/Programme Director (for postgraduate students). |  |
