About us

Science and Engineering

From being one of the first UK universities to establish engineering, computer science, chemistry, and materials departments, we are a present-day leader in best-in-class research and innovation.

Who we are and what we do

The Faculty of Science and Engineering comprises eight distinct Schools and Institutes, where headline-making research brings teaching to life while tackling some of the most pressing challenges of our time. Home to three of Queen Mary's Nobel Prize winners, we are proud of a history that dates back over 130 years.

Since then, we have trailblazed work on the structure of the atom, collaborated internationally on the Nobel Prize-winning discovery of the Higgs boson, set up the first UK Internet node to predict football results, been first in the UK to teach Aeronautical Engineering, and discovered new planets.

Today, our diverse communities' knowledge, application and passion continues our work, inspiring the next generation of scientists and engineers to make real-world change and improve lives.
