Computer Science (Informatics) & Engineering

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.

Computer Science (Informatics): Edinburgh is proud to house Europe’s largest Informatics research centre, and is currently ranked 4th in the UK and top 20 in the WORLD for Computer Science (QS 2024). Computer Science (Informatics) is the study of information, computation and communication in artificial intelligence systems (e.g. computers) and in natural systems (e.g. brains, genes, living cells). Explore a huge variety of topics in exciting interactive classes...you may even get to build your own working robot!
Previous summer school topics include cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and machine learning, robotics, software engineering, bioinformatics, and alien language translation.

Engineering: Engineering at Edinburgh has a long and distinguished history, and a vibrant and successful present. Balancing technical depth with practical learning, students will explore various specialities including chemical, civil & environmental, electronic & electrical, mechanical and general engineering courses. Currently ranked top 10 in the UK for Engineering & Technology (QS 2024), Edinburgh has something for everyone!
Previous summer school topics include fire lab experiments, bridge building, laser technologies, drones & artificial intelligence, soldering & constructing electronic gadgets, deployable structures, wind energy, biomedical engineering, and robotics.

Spend your daytimes exploring fascinating subject work and receiving expert guidance, before joining exciting social activities across the city.

Join us this summer for a "once in a lifetime" experience that is "inspiring, enriching & unforgettable" (2024 Summer School Graduate feedback).
