We have an international reputation for delivering excellent teaching and conducting research that has impact both academically and in society.

The broad range of disciplines we bring together in the School means that our staff and students have unique opportunities to gain knowledge and conduct research across different fields within natural sciences and psychology. This multidisciplinary approach is one of our most valued strengths and it is the key to the innovative approach that the School of Natural Sciences and Psychology is renowned for.

Our two research centres: the Research Centre for Brain and Behaviour and the Research Centre in Evolutionary Anthropology and Palaeoecology, foster cross-disciplinary research and teaching into human and animal ‘life on Earth’. Postgraduate and undergraduate students, postdoctoral scientists, and research active staff have access to an intellectually stimulating environment with first class facilities, where innovation and collaboration are encouraged and supported.
