Top 6 Tasks

There is a lot to do before you start university and we have highlighted the top 6 tasks which all new students should do in advance of starting studies.

These top 6 tasks are simple, achievable online and relevant for all new students starting with us this September to do.

You can start most of these tasks approximately 4 weeks before your programme start date.

Before you start your essential tasks, you will need to register for your University log in to access MyEd and other University systems.

MyEd is the University of Edinburgh's internal web portal, and the best way to find and access many of the University’s online resources. It gives you easy access to the systems, tools, and information that you will use most often while you’re studying at the University and the area in which most of these tasks can be completed.
