About Applied Sciences

The School of Applied Sciences incorporates the disciplines of Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Formed by an amalgamation of the departments of Applied Chemistry, Applied Physics, Biotechnology and Environmental Biology and Food Science, the School possesses a concentration and breadth of scientific knowledge. It integrates basic sciences to provide a fertile ground for new discoveries and innovative research, drawing together individual expertise and diverse ideas from a variety of fields.

We provide our students with flexibility in choice of disciplines and industrially relevant experience, enabling them to critically analyse and creatively synthesise ideas. The School’s research and commercial activities are based on the same guiding principles.

Guided by Professor Peter Coloe, the School offers a practical, novel and exciting approach to applied sciences.
