Graduate School of Engineering

Welcome to the Graduate School of Engineering at the University of Edinburgh, one of the top-rated Research Schools in the United Kingdom. Our Graduate School is large and diverse, composing of almost 80 academics and over 165 Postgraduate students from all over the globe. Our research spans a wide spectrum of modern engineering and we are equipped with state of the art resources to assist us in remaining at the fore-front of our individual research fields.

The Graduate School is divided into five Research Institutes (which comprise of members from our four disciplines, Chemical Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Electronics and Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering, as shown below):

The Institute for Materials and Processes (IMP) joins researchers from materials science, materials synthesis and processing, and manufacturing optimisation. Please follow this link for studentships in IMP which includes the Chemical, Electronics and Mechanical disciplines

The Institute for Integrated Micro and Nano Systems (IMNS) bring together researchers from integrated circuit design, system-on-chip design, microfabrication, micro-electro mechanical systems (MEMS), micro-machining and neural computation. Please follow this link for studentships in IMNS which includes the Electronics and Mechanical disciplines

The Institute for Digital Communications (IDCOM) is committed to research in digital signal processing and its application to communications, radar, audio and medical systems; and future systems and services for automated telephone and advanced Internet communication. Please follow this link for studentships in IDCOM which includes the Electronics and Mechanical disciplines

The Institute for Energy Systems (IES) conducts world-class research into the systems that control the conversion, transmission and utilisation of many forms of energy. Please follow this link for studentships in IES which includes the Electronics and Mechanical disciplines

The Institute for Infrastructure and Environment (IIE) has five research groups that cover a remarkable range of topics within the Infrastructure, Environment and Civil Engineering fields, with a focus on interdisciplinary and emerging areas. Please follow this link for studentships in IIE which includes the Civil discipline
