Founded in 1583, the University of Edinburgh is one of the world's leading universities

The University of Edinburgh has been welcoming Canadian students for hundreds of years and is one of the most popular choices for Canadian students in the UK. The University also has well established academic links with a number of Canadian institutions, and historic links which date back to the very foundations of the Canadian system.

Due to the strong connections between the Scottish and Canadian education systems, the academic transition for Canadian students to the University of Edinburgh is very straightforward. Edinburgh offers a four-year undergraduate degree in a liberal arts style and students can choose their majors from one of the most diverse range of subjects available in the UK.

The University is currently ranked 17th in the world according to the QS World University Rankings 2013.

Located at the heart of Scotland's capital city, the University of Edinburgh is the largest university in Scotland, and offers a very wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate (taught and research) programmes across the Colleges of Humanities & Social Science, Science & Engineering and Medicine & Veterinary Medicine.

English Language courses are also available through our English Language Teaching Centre (ELTC) to students with varying levels of English.

The City of Edinburgh is often voted as one of the best locations to live and study in the UK and students from all over the world come and study here every year. With students from over 140 different countries, a multi-cultural environment will greet any student coming here.
