The University of Edinburgh offers more than 300 master's programmes and 180 research areas. The University's position as one of Britain's leading research universities was reaffirmed by the 2021 Research Excellence Framework (REF). The REF rates 90% of their research activity as world-leading or internationally excellent, ranking them 4th in the UK based on the quality and breadth of their research.<br/><br/>Research conducted here led to the discovery of chloroform anaesthesia, the Higgs boson particle and in-vitro fertilisation. Our academics, students and alumni discovered carbon dioxide, led the Scottish Enlightenment laying the foundations of contemporary thought, developed a genetically engineered vaccine against Hepatitis B, and Dolly the sheep – the first mammal to be genetically cloned from an adult somatic cell.<br/><br/>With various study methods, from on-campus taught programmes to part-time online study, we offer more than 70 online programmes across a wide range of subject areas, making The University of Edinburgh the largest provider of online distance learning in the Russell Group of UK research-intensive universities. Currently, we have around 4,000 students studying with us online and we take the delivery of teaching online just as seriously as on-campus.
