Alumni

In 2026, Edinburgh Medical School will be marking a big milestone and our alumni community is at the heart of our activities.

We are planning an exciting programme of events and activities in which you and your fellow alumni can get involved. We look forward to sharing further information on our plans and how to get involved in the coming months and in the meantime, here are some key dates and details. 

Edinburgh Medical School 300 Alumni Weekends

Dates: 24-26 April 2026 and 2-4 October 2026

Location: Edinburgh

Please note that these events (plus waiting lists) are now at capacity. Unfortunately we cannot take any more bookings at this time.

These events will bring together staff, students and alumni and offer an excellent opportunity to come along on your own or with classmates as part of a reunion, to reconnect and reminisce, be inspired by our current cohort of talented students and to hear from our academic colleagues about the latest research and developments as well as our plans for the future.  

We are planning two alumni weekends so you can select the date that suits you best. Each weekend will feature a formal dinner on the Saturday night. This will be held at the National Museum of Scotland. Spaces are limited for the dinner and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Tickets will be available for alumni to purchase for this part of the weekend.

We will release the full programme information and further details later in 2025.

In the coming months we will also share ways our alumni and friends can get involved and volunteer as part of Edinburgh Medical School 300 as well as opportunities to help support our current students.
