College of Sanctuary

College of Sanctuary

Over the course of 2024-25, the Students' Association worked in partnership with Edinburgh College to be awarded College of Sanctuary status in recognition of the support we provides to refugees and asylum seekers in accessing educational opportunities.

The College of Sanctuary status – awarded by the City of Sanctuary UK network – recognises and aims to enhance the work of colleges in providing support and opportunities for refugees, asylum seekers, and those seeking sanctuary in the UK.
