Mathematics & 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 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.

Mathematics: Edinburgh has a rich history of teaching mathematics and is currently ranked 5th in the UK for mathematics (QS 2022). As part of the Maxwell Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Edinburgh forms one of the UK's leading research centres in mathematics. Previous summer school topics include Monte Carlo simulations, machine learning, maths within magic, number theory, integer solutions to Diophantine equations, probabalistic & positional games (incl. Markov chains), graph theory, primality testing, statistics, and differential equations.

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).
