　　The 10 majors with the highest offer rates for international students

　　No. 1 is philosophy & politics, with an offer rate of 96%, mainly due to the small number of applicants who are too niche. As one of the popular majors, mathematics has an offer rate of 92%!

　　The 10 majors with the lowest offer rate for international students

　　It can be seen that the offer rate of the first five majors is 0, and these majors are basically too unpopular and niche.

　　The biomedical sciences, information, international business and other majors that Chinese students prefer to apply for are also in the top 10, mainly because of the excessive number of applications.

　　brief summary

　　In fact, from a comprehensive point of view, the admission data of various colleges and majors officially given by the University of Edinburgh is higher than expected, which may bring some students the illusion of "good application for the University of Edinburgh".

　　Why?

　　As one of the top 30 universities in the world and the top 10 universities in the UK, the University of Edinburgh is very good in terms of ranking and strength.
