Chemistry & Biological Sciences

University of Edinburgh

Study two subjects at Edinburgh and pick one to specialise in for an exciting project day! In both subjects, you will work with world-leading academics and recently trained young scientists in lectures, tutorials, fascinating group project work, and practical laboratory experiments.

Chemistry: Chemistry has been taught at Edinburgh since 1713; that's over 300 years of fundamental contributions to chemistry theory and practice! As one of the top 10 UK universities for chemistry (QS 2022), our degree programmes reflect the breadth and diversity of the many global challenges that chemistry has a central role in solving, such as climate change, health and the environment. Previous summer school topics include medicinal chemistry, smartphone spectroscopy, climate change, chemistry in household items, and lots of hands-on experiments!

Biological Sciences: Edinburgh is home to one of the largest biology departments in the UK, and is currently ranked top 5 in the UK and top 25 in the world for biological sciences (QS 2022). Biological sciences explores the study of living organisms, covering everything from the interactions of animals in their environment, to how genes are expressed. With such a broad scope, there is something for everyone. Previous summer school topics include human evolution & 'skeleton reading', Drosophila genetics, bioluminescent bacteria & water toxicity, embryological development, and immunity & disease.

Join us this summer for an "unforgettable" experience that is "educational, fun and awesome!" (2022 Summer School Graduate feedback).
