The School of Informatics, located in the heart of Edinburgh, is the largest institution of this kind in the UK and one of the largest in Europe.
We have produced more world-leading and internationally excellent research (4* and 3*) than any other UK university.
We provide a fertile environment for a wide range of studies focussed on understanding computation in both artificial and natural systems.
