Faculty of Science
From bench to publication
Welcome to the Faculty of Science
The Faculty of Science is committed to advancing discovery. Undergraduates take funded bench places in real research groups across biology, chemistry and physics — many co-author papers before they graduate.
Modern laboratories, a rooftop observatory and field stations on the coast give every student room to experiment, measure and publish with confidence.
- Funded undergraduate lab places
- Biology, chemistry & physics majors
- Coast field station & observatory
- Annual student research symposium
What the Faculty of Science Entails
Inside the Programme
Laboratory Training
Two fully equipped teaching labs plus access to faculty research groups, with safety and methods certification built into the first year.
Field & Observatory Work
Residential field weeks at our coastal station and observing nights at the rooftop observatory turn theory into data.
Research & Publication
Final-year dissertations join live projects, and the best are presented at our symposium and submitted for publication.
Questions
Faculty FAQs
No. Methods training starts from zero in the first term, and technicians supervise every practical until you are certified.
Yes — summer research bursaries fund forty undergraduates each year to work full-time in a faculty lab.
