About Faculty of Science & Engineering

The Faculty of Science and Engineering combines research excellence with a strong commitment to growth, innovation and diversity in its educational activities.

Our academic schools work together effectively, generating excellent research, teaching and learning opportunities across science and engineering. Having grown rapidly in recent years, the faculty now generates around £200 million in annual income. Altogether there are over 14,000 students and 1500 staff across the Faculty, with many inter-departmental links. We deliver education to over 5,000 students in China, operating a “flying faculty” model.
