The International Centre for Brewing and Distilling (ICBD) is a unique teaching and research facility. The centre is based on a partnership between industry and academics, and is based at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland.

Edinburgh is one of the World's finest cities and renowned as a centre of learning and discovery. As a place to live, study and work Edinburgh offers a unique city environment. It's culturally diverse, historically significant, socially alive, environmentally aware, politically central and visually stunning.

To add to its unrivalled location, The ICBD is also the only organisation in the UK to offer both Honours and Masters degrees in Brewing and Distilling. As such, the centre not only supplies the industry with new-blood graduates, but with services, expertise and facilities consistent with the standards required in the local, national, and international markets.

A variety of courses are available both on campus and by distance learning and short courses and workshops are catered for on request.
