There is now compelling evidence in favour of the hierarchical structure formation paradigm. Semi-analytic modelling is a powerful tool which allows the formation and evolution of galaxies to be followed in a hierarchical framework. We review some of the latest developments in this area before discussing how such models can help us to interpret observations of the high redshift Universe.
