What is the course about?
Talking about sex and consent can be difficult. This course will help you understand consent, recognise acceptable boundaries and learn how to support others.
Through the completion of the course you will learn how to:
- Recognise and ask for sexual consent
- Keep our campus spaces safe
- Find support if you need it
- Look out for others at the University
Who is this course for?
All University of Edinburgh students should complete a short, 30-minute online course called ‘Consent on Campus’. The course will be embedded in matriculation by September 2025, but you can access and complete the course now if you’d like to.
We are committed to providing a respectful and safe community for all our students, and everyone at the University is responsible for playing their part in creating this environment.
Do I have to take part?
We understand that those who have experienced sexual violence may find the content of this course difficult or upsetting. If this applies to you, you can opt out.
Online students are not expected to complete the course.
