A Proud History

From Nobel laureates and Olympic champions to space explorers and prime ministers, The University of Edinburgh has been influencing history since it opened the gates to its first students in 1583.

Over the last 400 years, The University has made significant and sustained contributions to a huge range of societal challenges. From tackling malaria and diabetes to helping improve youth justice, to contributing to global sustainable development. The range of what they deliver, are involved in and contribute to is truly vast.

"We are humbled by our history, and proud that members of our community go on to benefit society as engineers, teachers, social entrepreneurs, artists, medics and agents of change."

Continually Adapting

The world is faced with various significant and complex challenges, from rising inequality and the mass displacement of people to climate change and the emergence of artificial intelligence.

The University of Edinburgh has a long tradition of challenging established ways of thinking and reflecting on what needs to change (and what does not) as we move forward as a society.

To respond to these challenges and do justice to future generations, The University needs to adapt and work in new ways.

They have challenged themselves to work in new partnerships with local authorities, third sector, and business, both nationally and internationally.

With more than 400 years of excellence behind them, their drive to continually evolve and find new approaches to the world's challenges will ensure the next 400 years even better.
