Departments

The School of Physical Sciences has three departments, all of which are committed to excellent science that addresses the big challenges and questions.

Each of our departments enjoys strong partnerships internationally, with research networks, other institutions and industry.

Closer to home, our institutes and centres provide platforms for innovative collaborations, across the School and the University as a whole. Read more about our research programmes.
