University of Edinburgh. The University of Edinburgh focuses on physics, and the physics center is the core project, aiming at cultivating practical talents and introducing advanced concepts and technologies widely. King's College London does not specialize in physics, nor does it introduce advanced technology in physics, so Edinburgh University is a good undergraduate major. The University of Edinburgh was founded on 1583. In the tide of European Enlightenment in the18th century, Edinburgh University gradually became the academic center of Europe.
