    University of Edinburgh

    The University of Edinburgh is one of the most respected in the UK, with a fine history of scholars, traditions and prestigious alumni. Since its founding in 1583, the university has been the Alma Mater of prime ministers, Olympic athletes and space explorers – though admittedly rather few of the last group in its first […]

    Course Summary

    The University of Edinburgh’s Computer Science BEng program is designed to teach graduates how to use, analyse, design and implement computer systems of all types and at every scale – from a single microprocessor to a network of global scope.

    To achieve that, you’ll study mathematics, engineering and logic. You’ll learn how computers operate, their limitations, and how those boundaries can be pushed. You’ll also learn how to use computes to solve problems in a wide range of different fields, not just mathematics and engineering but also sociology, linguistics, biology and even psychology.

    As you begin to specialise, you’ll lay the groundwork for a rewarding career advancing or constructing the technologies that increasingly define the 21st century.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.

    Course Outline

    This course is typically delivered over four years.

    Year 1:

    You will start by studying computation generally and learning the basics of programming. You will come to understand ways to represent information in computer systems, methods of data management and problem solving techniques.

    There will also be a heavy emphasis on the mathematics you will need to understand the more advanced modules in this program.

    Year 2:

    You will now move on to more advanced data structures and programming techniques, as well as the maths needed to support them. Modules will cover decision making, software development, making real use of data, and how the individual components of computers, systems and networks interact.

    Year 3:

    Year 3 will become very focused on your chosen specialty, involving many more elective modules. These will include options taken from computer science, informatics, and more. Modules offered recently include Computer Networks, Operating Systems, Machine Learning, Computer Security, Robotics, Software Testing and several others.

    Year 4:

    You will take high level modules in your chosen specialty during your fourth year. In addition, you will deliver an individual honours project chosen with the guidance of your project supervisor.

    Learning & Teaching

    The University of Edinburgh’s Computer Science programs rely on a range of learning and teaching methods. These of course include lecture classes, smaller tutorials, individual study, group work and individual projects. You will also engage in quite a bit of practical laboratory work and experimentation under the tutelage of your supervisor.

    Career Possiblities

    The University of Edinburgh’s career placement results are exemplary. CS graduates mainly take rewarding vocational roles in the IT industry, but many others find roles in media, finance, communications or the energy industry, where their CS expertise is highly in demand.  

    Entry Credit

    Entry Requirements for UK and EU-nationals

    The University of Edinburgh’s Computer Science BEng program requires applicants to have achieved 3 A Levels at AAA to ABB or higher. Alternate accreditation, such as SQA Highers of AAAA to AABB are also accepted.

    Entry Requirements for overseas (non-EU) students                         

    International students must be fluent in written and spoken English. This can be demonstrated by an IELTS score of 6.5 or better overall, with no less than 5.5 in any of its modules.

    International students must also have undergraduate accreditation equivalent to that required for UK and EU students. The exact requirements can be found here.
