Facilities and equipment
Industrial-grade equipment and labs
The School of Engineering and Physical Sciences has a wide range of lab equipment to support teaching and research within our academic disciplines of Bioscience (including Brewing and Distilling), Chemistry, Physics, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering.
All engineering and physical science students have access to state-of-the-art laboratories, workshops and specialised equipment including the Makers Lab, Maths Gym, Gaming Lab, VR Suite and computer labs in the GRID building.
Immerse yourself in our facilities
Our Brewing and Distilling students have access to our industry-leading malting, brewing, and distilling labs and facilities. During your studies, you will have access to our on-site nano-brewery (2 HL), distillery, rectification lab, packed full with specialist equipment and software used by industry.
MSc Toxicology students will gain hands-on experience in our state-of-the-art laboratories and workshops, performing cytoxicity (cell death) and genotoxicity (DNA damage) assays, learn about cell culture, and become competent with our light microscopes.
GRID
GRID will be the hub for projects and lab work, providing you access to innovative labs and facilities for electronics, electrical power, computing, embedded systems, communications, robotics, and mechanical prototyping. This will enable you to undertake a wide range of learning activities and to progressively develop your skills and knowledge throughout.
The specifically designed centre will foster multi-disciplinary working and will provide you with the experience of working in project teams, similar to being in the actual workplace. The facilities are available throughout your studies, allowing you to work on your own projects outside of the classroom - either individually or as part of one of our student societies.
