About us
The Faculty of Science and Engineering brings together five academic
departments and schools that make diverse contributions to the University’s
strategic mission as a globally competitive, research-intensive and
student-focused institution.
School of Biological Sciences
The School of Biological
Sciences delivers high-quality teaching and research over a
wide spectrum of biological sciences. Research teams are working in the
forefront of their respective fields, with recognised international quality
research in Environmental Biology, Marine Sciences, Molecular Biophysics,
Molecular Medicine and Sports and Exercise Science.
School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering
The School of Computer Science
and Electronic Engineering teaches Computing and Electronics at
BSc, MSc, MPhil and PhD levels and is proud of its world-leading research in
many areas including Evolutionary Computation, Brain-Computer Interfacing,
Intelligent Inhabited Environments and Financial Forecasting. The Robotics
research group is the largest of its kind in the UK.
School of Health and Human Sciences
The School of Health and Human
Sciences is committed to making a difference to local, national
and international health services through education, research and knowledge
transfer. Key to delivering this objective is having strong collaborative
links with partner organisations and service users. The multi-disciplinary
nature of the School has fostered a dynamic and innovative learning
environment, offering foundation degrees to doctorates, research and
consultancy.
Department of Mathematical Sciences
The Department of
Mathematical Sciences offers a range of forward-thinking and
innovative courses and research opportunities, often in collaboration with
departments across the University and beyond. The department’s work is
underpinned by the belief that few academic disciplines can do without the
objective insights that mathematics provides. Members of the Department are
linked with other departments and contribute to their research agendas.
Department of Psychology
The
Department of Psychology offers a vibrant and dynamic study and
research environment with purpose-built labs and state-of-the-art testing
facilities (EEG, TMS, near infra-red spectroscopy and eye tracking) in the
Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory. The Department's research activity is
diverse and broad-based and includes cognition, mental health,
neuropsychology, sensory perception, social and health psychology, and
affective and cognitive neuroscience.
