We're running a brand new survey which is all about what life is like for students today. Help us build a picture of the big issues facing you, from finances to accommodation, travel and the sense of belonging at Edinburgh College.

We need as many people as possible to fill out the survey, it only takes 5-10 minutes and you have the chance to win prizes worth £50.

EC Students' Association is run by students, for students, and every March we ask you to elect your representatives for the next academic year.

If you are passionate about advocating for others and want to make student life better at Edinburgh College, all while developing your skills and working in a supportive team, then you might be interested in running to be our next Student President, Vice President Activities or Vice President Welfare.

The positions are 35 hours a week, from 1st July 2024 - 30th June 2025. The salary is £21,840 (additional pay award pending). Nominations are open until Monday 4th March.

The Scottish Government is planning on slashing the budgets of Colleges and Univesities by more than £100million. At a time when we should be investing in education, this will cause huge cuts across the sector and will be devastating for students, directly impacting the opportunities and experiences available.

Join the EC Students' Association Officer Team as they take part in the Rally for Education, outside Parliament on Wednesday the 21st of February from 1pm. Sign up below if you want to join us on the day and make your voice heard - Stop The Cuts!

This event has been organised by the National Union of Students, Scotland, and you can find out more about the details of speakers on their website.

We're working with the College's Learning Support team to launch a new peer support group for autistic students. This is an inclusive, safe space where autistic students can come together to support each other.

The first session will be taking place online via Teams on Friday 23rd February at 12-1pm. Both diagnosed and undiagnosed autistic students are welcome, as well as any students who are considering that they might be autistic.
