S1 Safety Poster
S1 Safety Poster
Every year, we ask our new S1 students to design a safety poster for the department.
The winner wins the chance to have their poster displayed in every lab in the department (and sweets!).
This year, the winner is Qismah Hassan.
We loved the clear presentation, fantastic drawings of scientific equipment and the colour really makes it stand out.
Well done Qismah!

Phone Photo Competition
Phone Photo Competition
The PicTours Student Photography Competition invites Scottish students to capture their surroundings — whether it’s a stunning Highland landscape, a candid city moment, or a creative close-up.
The only rule?
Photos must be taken on a smartphone. No DSLR or professional cameras allowed.
There are no restrictions on editing. Students can crop, filter, or stylise their images however they like. This contest is all about creativity, not expensive camera gear.
Join us at the Informatics Forum, The University of Edinburgh for a two day summer school that will cover the basics of quantum computing and what a career in research can look like. This event is tailored to students with an EH postcode that are leaving S5 or S6.
