About School of Applied Science
Welcome to the School of Applied Science
Here we prepare future scientists, technicians and researchers by allowing them to develop their theoretical and practical knowledge in various branches of science. Students can conduct experiments and gain practical skills in our cutting-edge laboratories.
Our mock pharmacy gives students the opportunity to practise dispensing medicines and carry out clinical consultations. Laboratories are all set up to give students chances to carry out experiments and record their findings.
Fume cupboards, incubators, an NMR machine and 3D printer, allow students to familiarise themselves with the equipment they are likely to find in working laboratories, or on university courses.
