A bit about the School of Science, Engineering & Environment (SEE)…

The School aims to transform the quality of life for society and the well-being of future generations through a better and more sustainable future, offering students programmes from Architecture to Zoology. 

Industry collaboration is at the core of what we do. This is combined with a passion for research and finding solutions to real world problems and those that we may face in the future.  Our work is truly interdisciplinary with a strong focus on developing our knowledge for our colleagues as well as students.

The University’s Campus Masterplan includes three new buildings for the SEE School and marks a real step change in our ability to deliver world leading research and innovation.  The SEE School itself will have a brand-new dedicated building that will house many of our colleagues under one roof, a new ERDF funded Robotics Centre, as well as our ‘Energy House 2.0’ – an unrivalled environment to develop future energy saving products.
