Located in Scotland, the University of Edinburgh is one of the UK’s oldest universities, having been granted its charter by King James VI in the 16th century. It is also ranked as one of the world’s top universities, and ranked 1st in the UK for Sport-related subjects. The university is spread across five campuses, making it considerably smaller in area than other top-ranking universities. However, this does not apply to the student population, which is recorded to be over 35,000. Famous graduates include the great biologist Charles Darwin, and the atheist philosopher David Hume.
