HOW DO I BRING MY STUDENTS?
Start a conversation with us!  Basically, an interested university approaches us with an idea for a class they want to do, or show that they want to bring.  We work with whoever you need us to at your university to make the arrangements (usually it is your department, and the study abroad office at your university).

Fringe University can help you with your syllabus (if needed), and can arrange housing, classrooms, field trips and other logistics.  The instructor and Fringe University will collaborate to find the best festival experiences (field trips, shows, guest speakers, etc.)  to best teach the material.

Past Class

​​EAM: Structures of the Edinburgh Fringe

Type: Hybrid Class - Online and in Edinburgh 

Learn how the Edinburgh Fringe works.  Including: the history and development of the Fringe; the role of Fringe Venues, the Fringe Society, press, audience, and productions at the Edinburgh Fringe; meet and talk with managers in a variety of these roles; attend special hands on workshops; and actually spend some time working behind the scenes in one or more of these roles.  

Highly recommended for arts management students during their first year at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Past Course that is always available:
​CO-OP or INTERNSHIP

Fringe University maintains a database of potential companies to work with during the Edinburgh Fringe.  To keep with current visa laws, most of the positions are with companies performing at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.  Students must interview with Fringe University before matching begins.  Once a student is accepted into the Fringe University co-op program, Fringe University works on matching the student up to a performing company.  There may be additional interviews between the student and the performing company. In some cases, a student may be matched with two or more performing companies to create a full and diverse co-op experience.

University credit may be available for the co-op or internship at your university.  Please talk to us about your specific situation to see if it applies to you.
