School of Engineering and Physical Sciences

Overview

Postgraduate teaching and research in Engineering and Physical Sciences (EPS) is organised by our Graduate School. The School comprises 90 research-active academic staff and 90 Research Associates, working with 280 postgraduate research students together with 340 students on advanced level courses.

The School spans the boundaries between the traditionally distinct academic disciplines of:

chemical engineering
chemistry
electrical, electronic and computer engineering
mechanical engineering
physics

This diversity reflects the interdisciplinary nature of research and associated industries, taking full advantage of the interactions between science and engineering. Built on a strong foundation of core strengths in each of these areas, we have the expertise to tackle a wide range of challenging and important problems ranging from the truly fundamental to the fully applied and to provide high-level, specialised training to satisfy the needs of modern industry.
