The University of Edinburgh

United Kingdom Flag

The University of Edinburgh was founded in 1583, making it one of Scotland's four ancient universities. Today, the University is a leading European centre of academic excellence. As a great civic University, Edinburgh especially values its intellectual and economic relationship with the Scottish community that forms its base and provides the foundation from which it will continue to look to the widest international horizons, enriching both itself and Scotland. The University's academic disciplines are structured into 21 Schools in three Colleges: Humanities and Social Science, Medicine and Veterinary Medicine, and Science and Engineering.
