This week, we're launching the Big Student Thank You 2025! Every year, these awards give students the chance to say thank you to Edinburgh College staff who have positively impacted their year. You can nominate your lecturers or any member of support staff, and there are five categories:

• Best Lecturer Construction & Engineering

So, if someone at Edinburgh College has had a positive impact on your year, we want to hear about it! Nominations will all be read carefully, and the winners will be announced on the week beginning Monday 2nd June.

On Wednesday 23^rd April Edinburgh College students from Active Campus Clubs, and the College’s Sports Department, spent the day at Oriam- Scotland’s performance Centre taking part in the SSS (Scottish Student Sport) College National Finals!

There were over 400 students competing from 13 different colleges, in Volleyball, Basketball Badminton and Football. It was the biggest event yet!

All of our teams were a force to be reckoned with. With our Men’s AND Women’s football teams finishing first place overall and both bringing home gold. Edinburgh College finished overall 2^nd place, out of 13 colleges, for the overall event.
