Teaching in the Turner Lab

Inside the Turner Lab

Edward Turner, the first professor of chemistry at UCL, was an important figure in the history of 19th century science. Appointed to the chair of chemistry soon after the college's foundation, he was also author of an important textbook of the day, his Elements of Chemistry. Turner was a highly skilled experimental chemist, and his meticulous work on atomic weights put him at the centre of a major controversy of the age. More...

About the Faculty of Mathematical and Physical Sciences

The Faculty is part of the BEAMS School which comprises the Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment, the Faculty of Engineering Sciences and MAPS.

Encompassing the logical, experimental and mathematical study of our universe, Mathematical and Physical Sciences at UCL consists of departments highly rated for research excellence.  The faculty also provides a base for a number of research centres: these facilitate in-depth and interdisciplinary research through collaboration between experts within MAPS, and in related areas in Engineering Sciences and Life Sciences. In addition, the Faculty has its own interdepartmental degree programme: Natural Sciences.

Front-line research feeds directly into our teaching programmes, and our students benefit from access to first-class laboratory facilities.  All MAPS departments are involved in teaching.  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.  

For graduate students, the faculty offers programmes ranging from one-year taught MSc degrees, through MRes (research masters) to 3/4 year PhD and EngD doctoral research degrees.
