Chemistry and Physics

The Faculty of Science, Business and Enterprise focuses on work in the strategic research areas of energy, environment and new materials. Studying the physics, mathematics and chemistry of the world around us, we aim to provide students with professional skills and a unique educational experience to help them to become leaders in their scientific areas.

Based at Exton Park, enjoy working alongside fellow students, academic researchers and commercial enterprises. You will benefit from modern physics, chemistry and biotechnology laboratories, the mathematical books and journals of the library, and an extensive suite of materials preparation and characterisation techniques. You can also access professional computer software and laser machining.

The diversity of our research is reflected in scientific articles published in high-impact journals, research visits and research collaboration in the UK and abroad as well as collaboration with industrial partners across a range of disciplines. Our academic strategy is to achieve excellence in research in order to keep within the UK's research base, and to support research-informed teaching.
