Engineering at The University of Edinburgh
 Engineering has a long history at The University of Edinburgh since
the formation of the Regius Chair in 1868, spanning over 130 years of
research and development.
We offer a large range of degrees, grouped into four main Engineering
disciplines. All of the Engineering disciplines may be combined with
the study of management, leading to combined degrees, e.g. in "Mechanical
Engineering with Management". (Further details are given in the
sections dealing with the individual disciplines).
 Chemical Engineering Degrees
Produce virtually any material or product by using processes that cause the raw materials to change their chemical or physical composition, structure, energy content or physical state.
Civil and Environmental
Engineering Degrees
Create sustainable cities through designing novel structures (buildings, bridges), efficient transport systems, clean water provision, and restoring and protecting the natural environment.
Electronics and Electrical Engineering Degrees
Design and manufacture of circuits, chips and electronic goods through to producing and distributing electricity to homes and industry.
 Mechanical Engineering Degrees
Use materials (solids, fluids, gases) and structures in innovative ways to design and create "machines" and devices.
General Engineering
Additionally, it is possible to apply for a general Engineering course (H100) that allows you to defer making a choice between the four disciplines until half way through the first year of study.
