Welcome to the School of Informatics

The University of Edinburgh views Informatics as a discipline central to a new enlightenment in scholarship and learning, and critical to the future development of science, technology and society. In the age of information, computing technology is changing the ways we work and play. Informatics is changing the way we think.

The School brings together research in Computer Science, Cognitive Science, Computational Linguistics and Artificial Intelligence. It provides a fertile environment for a wide range of interdisciplinary studies, leading to this new science of Informatics.

We offer a flexible choice of undergraduate and postgraduate courses and degrees in Informatics, Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science, Computational Linguistics, Computer Science and Software Engineering.
