Your studies

All you need to know about the academic side of your studies: courses, teaching, assessments, extensions, interruptions and withdrawals.

All of our programmes start with a common core of mathematics courses and informatics courses, with increasing options for specialisation in later years depending on your interests.

The University of Edinburgh uses a Common Marking Scheme (CMS) for taught student assessment. The below lays out the interpretation of the general scheme in the context of the School of Informatics, without changing the basic principles.

To help our students make decisions about their course choice, we publish recent results of the end-of-course student surveys.
