Why Edinburgh?

'With over 49,000 students from over 160 countries, The University of Edinburgh has one of the largest and most vibrant international communities in the UK. At the University of Edinburgh, extraordinary is just something our community has always done. Working together, for more than 400 years, we’ve influenced the world in extraordinary ways – expanding the depth of human knowledge and improving the lives of people worldwide. Research conducted here led to the discovery of chloroform anaesthesia, the Higgs boson particle and in vitro fertilisation. Our academics, students and alumni have discovered carbon dioxide, led the Scottish Enlightenment to lay the foundations of contemporary thought, developed a genetically engineered vaccine against Hepatitis B, and identified the SARS Coronavirus. In 1996 The University of Edinburgh scientists celebrated the birth of Dolly the Sheep, the first mammal to be cloned.'
