University of Edinburgh
The University of Edinburgh, founded in 1583, is a prestigious and research-intensive university located in Scotland’s capital. It is consistently ranked among the top 30 universities globally, known for strong performance in teaching, research power, and global reputation. For international students, tuition fees depend heavily on the program—arts and humanities are cheaper than lab/studio or medicine/veterinary courses, which can be much more expensive. On top of tuition, students must budget for significant living costs in Edinburgh. With over 20,000 international students from more than 160 countries, the university has a highly diverse student body.
