The University has pioneered the Educated Pass project which helps teenage boys think about how the school curriculum is relevant to them, and how pursuing their studies could help them achieve a career in football.
The project works in partnership with the Scottish Youth Football Association (SYFA), Edinburgh College and West Lothian College. Each year Educated Pass works with local youth football teams throughout Edinburgh and the Lothians and North Lanarkshire.
The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336, VAT Registration Number GB 592 9507 00, and is acknowledged by the UK authorities as a “Recognised body” which has been granted degree awarding powers.
