Overview

The University of Edinburgh is a public research university located in Edinburgh, Scotland. Ranked just behind Oxford and Cambridge, it holds the third-largest endowment in the United Kingdom.

The University of Edinburgh is one of the four ancient universities in Scotland and the sixth-oldest university still operating in the English-speaking world. This university is a member of many research universities, including the Coimbra Group, the League of European Research Universities, the Russell Group, Una Europa, and Universitas 21.

The institute has five main city campuses that include many historical buildings like those in the Old Town. Edinburgh offers 664 undergraduate programmes, 756 postgraduate programmes, 1037 research programmes and a great number of scholarships for international students.

The University of Edinburgh is home to more than 50,000 students, of whom over 20,000 are international students.

History

The roots of the University of Edinburgh go back to 1583 with the establishment of Tounis College. Due to a dispute that happened in 1617, King James VI decided that the institute should be called the "Colledge of King James."

After that, the university was historically referred to as both Tounis College and King James' College. During the 17th century, it gradually adopted the name University of Edinburgh.
