In conjunction with our partners in industry, the School of Engineering offers Scholarships to students who show excellent potential to become high-achieving professionals within the Electronics and Electrical Engineering sector. These provide a yearly cash award to the student, for up to 3 years, whilst studying for an Electronics & Electrical Engineering degree, plus opportunities for industrial internships in later years.

All UK students registered for the Electronics & Electrical Engineering degree programme (BEng or MEng) at University of Edinburgh.
Where funding permits, students studying Electronics & Computer Science may also be considered.
Students who successfully receive independent scholarship awards from either the UKESF, IET or RAEng, will not be eligible to also hold a School of Engineering scholarship

Awards are given to students who demonstrate excellent potential to become professionals within the electronics & electrical engineering sector.
Whilst university entry grades are taken into account, other distinguishing criteria will also be used where available.
