The Faculty is composed of 4 departments (Life Sciences, Chemistry and Analytical Sciences, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Physics & Astronomy) and a research institute (Planetary and Space Sciences Research Institute) each focusing on a specific science discipline. The departments provide the focus for both teaching and research in their discipline areas.
The Faculty currently supports 5 undergraduate discipline-based programmes; Life Sciences, Health Sciences, Molecular Science, Geosciences, and Physical Science; as well as a broad-based Natural Sciences programme which is cross-disciplinary. At post-graduate level, the Faculty supports an MSc programme which currently has 2 strands; Life Sciences and Science. The Faculty also has an interdisciplinary research centre - the Centre for Earth, Space, Planetary and Astronomical Research (CEPSAR) that brings together staff from Earth and Environmental Sciences, PSSRI and Physics & Astronomy.
