Edinburgh College of Art

Edinburgh College of Art is an art school in Edinburgh, Scotland, providing tertiary education. The college can trace its history back to 1760, and was established in its current form in the 1910s, when teaching of art was transferred to it from the Royal Scottish Academy. Today it has over two thousand students.

The main campus is in the Old Town of Edinburgh, and nearby Edinburgh University's George Square campus.

The college's two campuses, thus far having operated separately, are now looking increasingly at ways of working better together. Students are now able to use each others libraries; it is possible to do joint fine art and history of art degrees, taught at both; and Edinburgh University, instead of Heriot-Watt University, will now accredit the college's degrees.
