Our new, £60m Health and Life Sciences building is purpose-built for teaching and research.
It houses a flexible teaching lab that can be subdivided to create up to four separate spaces. It is also home to seminar rooms, specialist research laboratories for undergraduate, master's and PhD students, the Cole Museum of Zoology, a cafe and a social space.
You will study on our parkland campus at Whiteknights, which has been voted among the best and most popular green spaces in the UK for 14 consecutive years in the Green Flag awards.
We treat our campus as a living laboratory; both staff and students make the most of their immediate surroundings for field work.
