Looking to the future
Ensuring that the Geology programmes provide you with the
best teaching experience we are constantly looking to improve our
teaching facilities. The Central Science Laboratories due to open in
2019 represent a £34 million development in the natural sciences.
Year 1 and 2 Geology students will extensively use the new
analytical laboratories based on the second floor which are fully
equipped with the latest microscopy as well as a substantial
rock store and preparation area. In addition these disciplines
have several sessions timetabled in the new IT suite on the top
floor. The new facilities will support a highly tailored approach to
practical learning that includes use of pre laboratory exercises
and team based learning methods. In addition the facility
will support effective cross disciplinary working for the earth
sciences with all other science disciplines.
