About the University of Edinburgh

Founded in 1583, the University of Edinburgh is the sixth oldest university in the UK and one of Scotland's four ancient universities. It played a central role in the Scottish Enlightenment of the 18th century, when scholars like David Hume and Joseph Black helped establish Edinburgh as a hub of academic and scientific thought.

Today the university spans five campuses across the city and is home to around 21,000 students and 7,000 staff. Its alumni and scholars include 19 Nobel laureates, Olympic champions, space explorers, and prime ministers, and it continues to be recognised as one of the world's leading centres for research and education.
