The Faculty of Mathematical and Physical Sciences encompasses the logical, experimental and mathematical study of our Universe. Front-line research feeds directly into our teaching programmes, and
our students benefit from access to first-class laboratory facilities.
The faculty offers an
array of three-year BSc and four-year Masters-level MSci degrees in
emerging as well as more traditional academic areas.
