Engineering (Research)

Research at the School of Engineering addresses diverse and complex challenges across the entire field of engineering, from the nano- to the macro/global scales. At the smallest scale, our research supports the design and deployment of novel nanotechnology and devices for biological monitoring and medical diagnosis. At the macro/global scale, it optimises the security and sustainability of the built environment and develops engineering solutions to climate change issues.

A research degree programme in Engineering at the University of Edinburgh is your chance to connect with internationally renowned researchers and innovators. We carry out world-class research and provide high-quality training in research skills.

You will conduct your research as a member of one of our seven Research Institutes:
