Faculties and schools

Fourteen faculties. One campus of ideas.

Every faculty is a research community first and a teaching department second, which is why the two are impossible to separate here.

Research institutes

Our four institutes are deliberately interdisciplinary: every one of them draws staff from at least five faculties.

Forty research groups working on machine learning, robotics, health data and the ethics of automation.

Modelling how cities can decarbonise without deepening inequality, with eleven municipal partners.

Clinical and social research into why health outcomes differ, and what interventions actually close the gap.

Materials, additive manufacturing and industrial decarbonisation, with a shared factory-scale test floor.

Our advisers will look at your subjects, your grades and what you actually enjoy, then suggest three routes worth considering.
