Facilities

Housed in a complex at the centre of the campus, the department's main building contains a concourse area which combines open-planned study space with flexible teaching rooms and large scale lecture theatres. Acessible by lift or stairs, the upper floors house our other specialist facilities, with the entire fourth floor devoted to extensive teaching and project laboratory space.

The research laboratories and staff offices are also close at hand. Undergraduates often become involved with research activities via their individual final-year project, with some projects taking place in research laboratories.

The University campus also provides a wealth of study facilities including the University Library and computing classrooms, many in the Colleges where you may be living.

You can access detailed descriptions of our departmental facilities, including our teaching laboratories, recording studios, VR suite, computing laboratory and clean room, as well as the University’s Nanotechnology Research Centre below;
