Faculty of Natural Sciences
At Keele, we are renowned for our
interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary
approach and our Faculty of Natural
Sciences is central to this. Our
Schools of Life Sciences; Computing
and Mathematics; Geography,
Geology and the Environment;
Chemical and Physical Sciences;
and Psychology build scientific
skills and awareness of the issues
relevant to both our sustainable
development and quality of life.
They integrate world-class research
with the very best teaching and
the latest innovations.
Since natural scientists are
inherently multidisciplinary and
interdisciplinary, they are particularly
relevant to how the world around
us works today and ours is the
natural venue for them. As a
student in our Faculty you can be
assured of an excellent quality
of teaching; as evidenced by our
remarkable results in the National
Student Survey, cementing our
place as one of the country’s
leading institutions for teaching
and learning. Accordingly, the
popularity of sciences at Keele is
growing and the Faculty is seeing
an increase in student numbers.
Throughout this growth we remain
firmly focussed on the quality
of education and ensuring a
first-rate experience for all our
students. We constantly invest in
our facilities and are embarking
on a £45 million investment in
science. The new state-of-the-art
facilities include new laboratories
and teaching spaces and are part
of the biggest single investment
in learning and teaching in the
University's history. Stage one
of the project is completed with
two state-of-the-art teaching
laboratories plus additional
research laboratories for the
Life Sciences.
