Edinburgh Castle

Scotland's capital city continues to enjoy economic success while many other UK cities struggle. It's helped make it the second biggest financial centre outside London and an international player in the world of banking and insurance. But it's not all anonymous office blocks filled with accountants. The historic city is a World Heritage site (alongside the likes of the Great Wall of China and the pyramids at Giza) attracting over a million tourists a year. And its rich culture celebrated through numerous festivals give the city a brand other cities can only dream about. Edinburgh also has an international reputation as a seat of learning with four universities creating and attracting many new cutting-edge businesses.

Edinburgh Essential Jobseeker Information

Finance

General insurance, corporate finance, broking and professional services are just some of the sectors which put Edinburgh fourth in the European Equity Assets League Table. It means the city has more than its fair share of graduates with many companies offering incentives and fast-track promotion for those with the right qualifications and ambition. Royal Bank of Scotland, Lloyds and Standard Life are among the biggest employers in this sector. Watch out as well for careers in the supporting industries for this sector such as lawyers, accountants, corporate financiers, brokers, human resources and IT specialists.

Innovation

Edinburgh has always had a reputation for its educational establishments and the University of Edinburgh, Heriot-Watt, Napier and Queen Margaret Universities along with numerous other colleges offer learning in a variety of specialities (and thousands of jobs of course). This has led to Edinburgh becoming a world leader in topics such as stem cell research and regenerative medicine, biotechnology, engineering, microelectronics, informatics, genomics, optoelectronics and renewable energy. Watch out for jobs in the Edinburgh science triangle including Pentlands Science Park.

Tourism

Whether you're intending to play bagpipes outside the castle or look for a marketing career in tourism, there's no doubt that Edinburgh is a city where tourism is taken seriously as an industry. Consider as well the travel sector within tourism as Edinburgh boasts road, rail, air and sea links to the rest of the UK, Europe and international locations.
