Our wider partnership interests extend to Merseyside, Hampshire and Gloucester. Staff in the Faculty are actively involved in a variety of research projects. There are Research Centres in Fire and Explosion Studies, Digital Image Processing and Contemporary Art. Other researchers are involved in Tribology, Stress Analysis, Environmental Electronics, Materials Performance and Methodologies, to name but a few. On the arts side, staff frequently show work in national and international exhibitions and students and staff are able to make use of the excellent exhibition facilities in the Victoria Gallery and the Centre for Contemporary Art.
Many students participate in the large selection of societies available.
Wednesday afternoons are lecture-free to enable sporting fixtures with other Universities, and the Students' Union provides an excellent variety of nightlife. We look forward to welcoming you to one of our Visit Days or a University Open Day .
