Based in the University of Edinburgh, EPCC provides supercomputing and data services to industry and academia. We have a long track record of working with industry, leveraging our expertise and facilities to accelerate the adoption and spread the benefits of high performance computing.
At our Advanced Computing Facility (ACF), we host and operate a remarkable collection of high performance computing and data services, including ARCHER2, the UK’s national supercomputing service, and the Edinburgh International Data Facility.
We are a leading provider of high performance computing and data science education and training, and run two established Masters programmes, which offer both on-campus and online study. We also offer opportunities for doctoral (PhD) study in areas related to high performance computing, computational science, data science, software engineering and sustainability, and parallelism among others.
EPCC conducts research at the leading edge of high performance computing and data science in areas including application performance optimisation and development, parallel programming models, and parallel I/O performance.
Since our inception in 1990, we have gained an enviable reputation for leading-edge capability in all aspects of HPC, data and novel computing. Our skill set extends beyond our 150 staff to embrace world-class multi-disciplinary capabilities, reinforced by deep ties with industry and academia.
The GSA is internationally recognised as one of Europe's foremost higher education institutions for creative education and research in fine art, design and architecture.
Our purpose
To contribute to a better world through creative education and research.
Our Ethos
We foster the conditions for creativity in order to promote critical thinking, experimentation, discovery and innovation. Our distinctive pedagogy and research promote studio culture as the basis for creative communities, the meeting ground for diversity of opinion, independence of thought and learning from each other.
Proudly independent and outward-looking, we continuously extend the boundaries of our knowledge, geographic reach and impact through collaboration and partnership locally, nationally and internationally.
We are socially and environmentally responsible in our organisational culture and academic provision. We seek to be exceptional but not exclusive, aspirational but accessible.
Drawing on our heritage, we promote a mutually-enriching relationship between tradition and innovation. Rooted in Glasgow, with a strong international and intercultural perspective underpinning all that we do, the city is both a focus for our work and the platform from which our international relationships grow, strengthening our role in the world.
Art for everyone

Step inside and explore treasures from Botticelli and Titian to the very best modern art and contemporary portraits of pop culture icons. And, as you would expect, the world’s greatest collection of Scottish art.
We are a space for thinking, dreaming, doing, and playing. Soak up the art. Meet friends in the cafés. Have a family picnic surrounded by the sculptures in the Modern grounds. Be inspired by our amazing art films. Enjoy a free event. Choose your own experience. There is no one way to enjoy Scotland’s national collection. We are yours to discover.
