Computer Science (Informatics) & Physics

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 our renowned team of world-leading academics and current students on both theoretical and practical work in lectures, tutorials, group projects, and exciting lab work.

Computer Science (Informatics): Edinburgh is proud to house Europe’s largest Informatics research centre, and is currently ranked 5th in the UK and top 25 in the world for Computer Science (QS 2022). 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, software engineering, bioinformatics, robotics, and alien language translation.

Physics: Currently ranked 1st in Scotland and 5th in the UK for physics & astronomy (QS 2022), Edinburgh hosts one of the leading physics departments in the UK. With innovative teaching labs and the UK-leading Royal Observatory nearby, Edinburgh is the perfect place to explore all areas of physics from the smallest particles, to the structure of the universe. Previous summer school topics include particle physics, astrobiology, dark matter, computational physics, exoplanets, and statistical physics.

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