Super-curricular Opportunities
What does super-curricular mean? Super-curricular is different to extra-curricular. Extra-curricular activities are those outside of your chosen topic, and unrelated to your studies, whereas super-curricular activities take the subjects you study further, beyond what you have learnt at school. Super-curricular activities demonstrate enthusiasm and curiosity for the subjects you are passionate about and are an essential requirement for those considering applying to high demand courses like Medicine or Law, or courses at Oxford/Cambridge University.

TEDEd Aberdeen is a new initiative created in the spirit of TED’s overall mission to inspire, educate and share “ideas worth spreading”. We are inviting secondary school students to present their STEM related ideas where things like AI, digital, energy transition, inventors from the NE, etc could be discussed.
Here at Edinburgh we offer a range of exciting programmes spanning Chemical, Civil & Environmental, Electronics & Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering.
