About us

We offer an exciting range of undergraduate degree programmes in Chemistry, Forensic Science and Physics as well as postgraduate taught opportunities in Analytical Science for Industry.

Our students are given hands-on laboratory experience using modern research-standard instrumentation from the outset of all degree programmes.

In addition, the School is renowned for its innovative teaching methods. We place tremendous importance on the support that we provide our students with, both in teaching and pastoral matters. This is all reflected in NSS results for all degree programmes, which have been consistently good and sector leading over many years.

The excellent academic and transferable skills embedded in these programmes, allied to the careers support provided, also ensures that our graduates successfully transition to employment or further study in academia. In addition to our teaching, we perform world-leading research in all areas within the school with particular strengths in astrophysics, materials chemistry, synthetic and analytical chemistry.
