Our history
With our rich history, noted alumni and distinguished scholars, we have much to be proud of in our many centuries as a world-renowned university.
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.
Following the Scottish Enlightenment of the 18th century, the University was positioned at the forefront of academia and critical thinking.
Due to the determination and perseverance of a group of Edinburgh intellectuals, established facts about the world were being boldly and consistently challenged.
Amid this group was David Hume, philosopher, economist and essayist known for his philosophical skepticism and empiricism; Joseph Black, the chemist behind the discovery of latent heat and carbon dioxide; and James Hutton, the ‘Father of Modern Geology’.
We are the home of Britain’s oldest literary awards, the James Tait Black Prizes and Dolly the sheep, the first animal to be cloned from an adult somatic cell.
It was also here at the University of Edinburgh that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was inspired to create his notorious character, Sherlock Holmes and James Young Simpson pioneered anaethetics through his discovery of the properties of chloroform.
More recently, theoretical physicist and Professor Emeritus Peter Higgs was jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his 1964 prediction of the Higgs Boson.
Through the many achievements of its staff and students, the University has continued to present cutting-edge research, inspirational teaching and innovative thinking as its central ethos, attracting some of the greatest minds from around the globe.
愛丁堡大學(xué)的歷史
愛丁堡大學(xué)有豐富的歷史、著名的校友和杰出的學(xué)者，在過去許多個(gè)世紀(jì)里，作為一所世界著名的大學(xué)，我們有許多值得自豪的。
自從1583年向它第一批學(xué)生敞開大門以來，愛丁堡大學(xué)一直在影響著歷史，諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)得主、奧運(yùn)會(huì)冠軍、太空探索者和首相都在這里誕生。
在18世界蘇格蘭啟蒙運(yùn)動(dòng)之后，愛丁堡大學(xué)走在了學(xué)術(shù)和批判性思考的前沿。
在愛丁堡知識(shí)分子團(tuán)體的決心和堅(jiān)持不懈下，一些關(guān)于世界的權(quán)威事實(shí)受到了大膽而持續(xù)地挑戰(zhàn)。
在這群知識(shí)分子中間，哲學(xué)家、經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家兼散文家的大衛(wèi)休謨哲學(xué)懷疑論和經(jīng)驗(yàn)論著稱，化學(xué)家約瑟夫·布拉克以潛熱和二氧化碳的發(fā)現(xiàn)著稱，詹姆斯·哈頓則被稱為“現(xiàn)代地質(zhì)學(xué)之父”。
愛丁堡大學(xué)是英國最古老的文學(xué)獎(jiǎng)?wù)材匪埂ぬ┨亍げ既R克紀(jì)念獎(jiǎng)的發(fā)源地，也是世界上第一只從正常體細(xì)胞中克隆出來的綿陽多利的誕生地。
也正是在這里阿瑟·柯南道爾獲得了創(chuàng)造臭名昭著的人物夏洛克·福爾摩斯的靈感，詹姆斯楊格辛普森通過發(fā)現(xiàn)氯仿的屬性發(fā)明了麻藥。
最近，理論物理學(xué)家 Emeritus Peter Higgs 教授因?qū)ο８袼共Ｉ拥念A(yù)測(cè)聯(lián)合獲得了1964年諾貝爾物理學(xué)獎(jiǎng)。
作為員工和學(xué)生的諸多成就，愛丁堡大學(xué)持續(xù)推出了高端研究，啟發(fā)式的教學(xué)和創(chuàng)新性的思想(這些也是它的核心理念)，吸引了世界各地的最了不起的人才。
