University of Edinburgh

The University of Edinburgh is one of the leading universities in the world. From unlocking the secrets of the universe to cloning sheep to building robots and devising technology used in today’s smartphones, as a student at Edinburgh you will learn from world-leading researchers. This is exciting, because our degree programmes are responding to global challenges, working alongside industry, to equip you with the tools to tackle these problems yourselves.

Our cosmopolitan study body, diverse student societies and programmes of university events celebrate our internationalism whilst we teach more European languages than any other university in Scotland.

And then there’s our beautiful and historic city, regularly voted one of the most desirable places to live in the world. Big enough to offer something for everyone, small enough to feel truly at home. A city full of hidden gems for you to explore.

And if you need a break from city life, the stunning Scottish countryside and coastline are just a few miles away.
