Welcome to the Faculty of Science...

... the largest of Liverpool University's Faculties in most respects, offering a wide choice of study programmes at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. In 2003-4, research income to the Faculty exceeded £14,000,000, as befits a Faculty which can boast several Nobel laureates among its former staff and students.

There are well over 300 academic staff in the Faculty; more than 3500 undergraduates; over 1200 taught postgraduates, over 1000 of which are online distance learners; over 500 research postgraduates, and more than 220 research staff.
