Informatics - ICSA - Computer Architecture, Compilation and System Software, Networks and Communication

Overview

We are home to the UK’s largest group of PhD researchers in the field, and host a Centre of Excellence in partnership with ARM, the world’s largest microprocessor intellectual property provider. We are also a member of the European Network of Excellence on High Performance and Embedded Architecture and Compilation.

While the scope for research is wide, each area is underpinned by our fundamental aims:

• to extend understanding of existing systems
• to improve current systems
• to develop new architecture and engineering methods

Career opportunities:

Our students of the Informatics - ICSA - Computer Architecture, Compilation and System Software, Networks and Communication programme offered by The University of Edinburgh see their degrees as a launchpad for their careers, and many have established themselves as world-class researchers and developers. By joining their ranks, you will be able to make your mark on the next generation of technological innovations.

Academic and business employers actively recruit ICSA graduates, many of whom are now designing the next generation of products for major software developers, or taking the lead in other entrepreneurial ventures.
