A World-Class University
A centre of academic excellence for over 400 years, and located in the heart of Scotland's capital city, the University of Edinburgh is a world-class institution, aiming to attract the best students and staff from around the globe. With 25,000 students from over 130 countries, Edinburgh is also one of the largest UK universities, offering a vibrant and cosmopolitan environment for living and learning. The University is made up of three colleges, Humanities and Social Science, Medicine and Veterinary Medicine, and Science and Engineering, and offers one of the widest subject spreads in the UK.

Cutting-Edge Research
Edinburgh is Scotland's number one research university, with an international reputation for innovative research across a wide range of disciplines. Current research activities include Stem Cells and Regenerative Therapies, Renewable Energy and Wave and Tidal-stream Power, and Intellectual Property and Technology Law. The most recent Research Assessment Exercise (RAE2001) placed Edinburgh 4th in the UK for research, and the THES-QS World University Rankings recently ranked the University in the top 25 worldwide. Last year the total value of research awards was over £200 million.

Innovative Taught Postgraduate Programmes
With some 240 taught postgraduate programmes, the University offers a wealth of PGT opportunities across its 21 Schools. Students benefit from world-class teaching in a cutting-edge research environment. Our degrees have been created with your future in mind, incorporating practical and theoretical elements and drawing on our strong links with relevant external organisations from a range of sectors, including business, industry, government and the voluntary sector.

Facilities
The University offers a range of first-class facilities, including one of the largest and most important academic libraries in the world. We are host to national centres of excellence such as the National eScience Centre, the Centre for the Advanced Study of the Arab World, and the Confucius Institute (which promotes the study of Chinese language and culture). More recently, the University's Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre has been chosen to house, manage and direct a £113 million computing facility, known as HECToR (High End Computing Terascale Resource), the largest supercomputer in the UK and one of the top 12 fastest in the world. Another new resource, to be opened in 2010, is the new £59 million home of the Scottish Centre for Regenerative Medicine. Outside the academic field you will find outstanding facilities too, such as our 5* rated sport and exercise provision (2007 Times Good University Guide). With 62 sports clubs and a further 200 clubs and societies, there is a breathtaking choice of social activities to get involved in.

City
Edinburgh, Scotland's capital city and a UNESCO World Heritage site, is one of the greenest and architecturally most beautiful cities in Northern Europe. Each year it plays host to a series of internationally renowned events such as the Edinburgh International Arts, Fringe, Film, TV and Science Festivals, and is home to numerous nationally and internationally important museums and galleries. Rich in social, cultural, learning and sporting facilities, it is not surprising that Edinburgh was again voted best place to live in the UK in 2007.

Please exclude research assistants*, PhD students who contribute to teaching, and exchange scholars or visiting faculty staff who are members of another university. * The important distinction for us is that staff counted as 'research only' should be academically involved in that research and should be likely to publish research outputs. A research assistant, in our understanding, is any individual who is not doing own research and is therefore not likely to publish own research outputs.

Entry Requirements

To study at postgraduate level, you need to have a first degree in an appropriate subject, or a qualification or experience which is accepted as equivalent.

The usual qualification you will need for admission to study for a research degree and for some Masters programmes is a first degree with an excellent or very good classification (equivalent to first or upper second class Honours in the UK).

Language Support

Courses are held at the Institute for Applied Language Studies (IALS) during the summer for overseas students whose studies start in September.

They provide a thorough preparation for postgraduate study programmes and are of four, seven, ten and 15 weeks’ duration. If students require a longer course in English, it is possible to register for the intensive language courses, which run from September to May each year. These include an Academic Study option specially planned for overseas students.

During the academic year, the Institute runs special programmes, free of charge, on behalf of the University, for postgraduate students registered for a degree who need help with their English. Topics include listening to lectures, effective reading, discussion skills, writing assignments and examination answers.
