The University, which was founded in 1583, has a student population of about 20,000 and employs over 3,000 academic and related staff, together with around 3,500 non-teaching staff in the clerical, technical and manual categories. The main locations of the University are in the central area (to the south of the city centre) and at the King's Buildings some 4 km away (at the foot of Blackford Hill). There is also a substantial grouping at Easter Bush near Roslin some 11 km to the south, just beyond the city boundary.

The University of Edinburgh is one of the largest unitary universities in the UK, covering as wide a range of academic disciplines as any British university. Following the merger with Moray House Institute of Education, it is the largest university in Scotland. The University's strategy is research-led, and this attracts a substantial volume of external funding.
