Welcome
The School of Chemistry at the University of Edinburgh is the top rated for teaching and research in Scotland. In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise EaStCHEM is 4th in the GPA metric and first when staff volume is factored in (the power ranking), sitting above Oxford and Cambridge.
With excellent facilities and services combined with a wealth of expertise, Chemistry at Edinburgh has much to offer our partners. Collaborators in industry and in other research organisations enjoy working with us on mutually beneficial projects. They particularly appreciate the enthusiasm and commitment shown by our staff and our professional approach to research, development and commercialisation.
The Universities of Edinburgh and St Andrews have formed EaStCHEM, which is the leading Chemistry research school in Scotland. Through continued collaboration between the two Universities EaStCHEM will become a driving force in a number of key research areas. EaStCHEM is also part of ScotCHEM, which strengthens links between the major Schools of Chemistry in Scottish Universities.
