The College of Engineering and Physical Sciences comprises seven academic Schools working across the frontiers of science and engineering in education, research and translating knowledge.
The College is also home to many research groups that sit within the academic schools but that also contribute to three overarching research themes spanning the breadth of the College.
- Science Frontiers: Fundamental breakthroughs in our understanding of the way nature works.
- Advanced Manufacturing: Driving industry forward; delivering the edge in the global competition through innovation.
- Resilience, Energy and Sustainability: Tackling the challenges of future generations now.
We are one of the largest groupings in Europe, bringing together physical sciences and engineering into one coherent college with our seven academic schools affording students, staff and alumni access to learning and career development opportunities which few educational institutions can match:
