Faculty of Science

The Faculty of Science is a grouping of 14 Departments and two associated research Institutes (Institute for Water Research, IWR; and the Institute for Environmental Biotechnology, EBRU). The departments can be grouped into mainly four broad areas which are: The biological sciences (Botany, Human Kinetics & Ergonomics, Ichthyology & Fisheries Science, Zoology & Entomology, and Microbiology) The earth and environmental sciences (Environmental Science, Geography, and Geology) The chemical sciences (Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Biotechnology) The mathematical and physical sciences (Computer Science, Mathematics, Mathematical Statistics and Physics). Although these groupings exist, the boundaries are not clearly defined and some departments and staff are active within more than one group. Indeed departments and staff in departments collaborate with colleagues from all the other faculties in teaching, research and community engagement.
