School of Chemical and Physical Sciences

The School of Chemical and Physical Sciences is based in the Lennard-Jones Building at the heart of the Keele campus. We offer an exciting range of undergraduate degree programmes in Chemistry, Forensics Science, Physics and Astrophysics, as well as postgraduate taught opportunities in Analytical Science for Industry and Astrophysics. Our students are given hands-on laboratory experience using modern research-standard instrumentation from the outset of all degree programmes.

We are known for our inter-disciplinary approach to chemical and physical sciences.

Please take a look at our facilities and equipment.

Our students have access to state-of-the-art, industry-standard equipment, including the Central Sciences Laboratory, the Lennard-Jones laboratories, the on-campus Keele Observatory, and extensive computing resources.
