    University of Edinburgh guide

The University of Edinburgh is a public institution that was founded in 1583. It is spread across five campuses in Edinburgh, Scotland – the capital and one of the country's largest cities. The university's Central Area Campus contains the main administrative buildings and library as well as humanities and social science facilities. The other sites are the King’s Buildings, Easter Bush, Little France and Western General Hospital campuses. Tuition costs are higher for students from outside Scotland and the European Union.The university has three colleges – arts, humanities and social science; medicine and veterinary medicine; and science and engineering – with a combined total of 20 schools. The university’s academic calendar is semester-based, and the primary language of instruction is English. Students can enroll in free six-week introductory Gaelic classes to get a taste of Scotland's historical language. First-year undergraduate students who are from outside Edinburgh are guaranteed housing. Graduate student accommodations are also available and are guaranteed for new graduate students from outside the EU. One notable research achievement associated with the university is the first cloning of a mammal from an adult somatic cell. Dolly, a sheep, was cloned at the University of Edinburgh’s Roslin Institute in 1996. Some of the university's other research centers and institutes include the Centre on Constitutional Change, the MRC Institute of Genetics and Molecular Medicine and the UK Centre for Astrobiology.
