Chemical engineers transform raw materials into the materials and products we rely on.

They develop, design and produce many of the products and materials that underpin or enhance our everyday lives; from the water we drink and the gas that powers our homes to cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, foodstuffs, silicon chips and even synthetic skin.

Chemical engineers are innovators who can be found at the leading edge of new and emerging technologies such as:

• nanotechnology
• carbon capture
• renewable energy

They are also adept at balancing economic considerations with safety and environmental requirements.

The wide-ranging nature of chemical engineering is reflected in the breadth of courses we offer as part of this programme.

If you are interested in mathematics and chemistry and want to solve real problems, that affect all of our lives, then chemical engineering could be for you.

Civil engineers design, build and operate the physical infrastructure that we often take for granted; from bridges and buildings to water treatment and waste management systems.

Civil engineering involves:

• applying your physics and mathematics knowledge
• using engineering and computing tools in a creative and sustainable way

This programme will train you to be a civil engineer of the future, giving you the knowledge and skills you need to shape our ever-changing world.

You will have the opportunity to specialise in many technical streams including:

• structural, environmental and construction management
• geotechnical
• fire safety engineering

We put a strong emphasis on engineering design throughout this degree programme.

Electromechanical systems are increasingly central to today’s world.

This multidisciplinary field will only become more important in meeting the needs of our future society.

Electromechanical engineers work on everything from energy generation and hybrid vehicles to aircraft design and satellite technology.

Here at Edinburgh, we have particular specialisms in:

• carbon capture
• materials science and engineering (including polymers and the mechanics of snow and ice)
• engineering at the interface with biology and medicine

We also have strengths in renewable energy, including marine energy. This was pioneered here by Professor Stephen Salter, inventor of the ‘Salter Duck’ in the 1970s.

Our world-class research activities strongly enhance our teaching.

As a student, you will have opportunities to carry out research projects in the diverse areas outlined above.

From the tiny processors in smartphones to the heavy-duty power electronics in wind turbines, electronic and electrical systems underpin many modern technologies.

In today's world of complex, high-speed devices, it is important that engineers understand how to design and implement both the hardware and software of general-purpose and embedded computer systems.

From the tiny processors in smartphones to the heavy-duty power electronics in wind turbines, electronic and electrical systems underpin many modern technologies.

Electronics is the study of circuits and devices that carry relatively small currents and voltages. It concerns the sensing, transduction and processing of data signals, in either digital or analogue forms.

Electrical engineering concerns much larger currents and voltages - usually for the purpose of generating and transmitting electrical power.

In an Electronics and Electrical Engineering (EEE) degree, you will study both areas with the opportunity to specialise in later years.

If you are unsure about which engineering discipline you are most interested in, you can apply to this general engineering entry code: H100, which allows you to defer your choice of discipline to the start of the second semester.

This programme does not lead to a general engineering degree. Instead, at the start of Year 2, you will join one of the following degree programmes:

• BEng(Hons)/MEng(Hons) Chemical Engineering*
• BEng(Hons)/MEng(Hons) Civil Engineering
• BEng(Hons)/MEng(Hons) Electronics and Electrical Engineering
• BEng(Hons)/MEng(Hons) Electrical and Mechanical Engineering
• BEng(Hons)/MEng(Hons) Mechanical Engineering
• BEng(Hons)/MEng(Hons) Structural and Fire Safety Engineering

Virtually any machine or process you can think of in modern life has benefited from the input of a mechanical engineer.

Mechanical engineers are responsible for the analysis, design and manufacture of an enormous range of industrial products and systems; almost anything with moving parts, from washing machines and wind turbines to automobiles and aircraft.

As a mechanical engineer, you will use your creative and inventive skills to design and improve products and processes, alongside:

• fundamental physics
• complex mathematics
• state-of-the-art engineering software

Studying mechanical engineering will open doors to increasingly diverse fields, including:

• bioengineering
• medical engineering
• nanotechnology
• sports engineering
• renewable energy

Mathematics at university encourages you to think in an entirely different way.

As well as developing a rigorous mindset, a mathematics degree introduces you to new mathematical concepts and delves into areas you won’t have explored at school.

This new way of approaching and analysing complex problems is a particularly valuable skill, applicable to many exciting career paths. This makes maths graduates extremely employable.

Astrophysics introduces you to the basics of physics and demonstrates how this knowledge can be applied to the physics of astronomy. Recent astronomical discoveries have made it an increasingly popular area of study.

The School of Physics and Astronomy has close links with the Royal Observatory, Edinburgh, one of the UK's major centres of astronomical research.

Chemical Physics is an interdisciplinary subject that lies at the apex of two major fields of physical science.

Its range and compass are broad. From the fundamental physics of individual atoms and molecules to soft and hard condensed matter physics. From dealing with a spectrum of matter from the molecules of life to the latest technological materials.

A chemical physicist in the 21st century is armed with the tools to make significant contributions to a sustainable, secure and healthy future for the coming generations, through the development of:

• efficient renewable energy sources
• smart materials and devices
• targeted medicinal therapies
