Science is at the heart of who we are. Connecting us all and running like a thread throughout what we do
Welcome to the Faculty of Science, a vibrant hub of innovation and academic excellence. Our diverse community comprises students, world-class researchers and educators, and professional staff across eight departments. We push the boundaries of knowledge and nurture the next generation of scientists. From understanding tropical diseases to developing sustainable technologies, our cutting-edge work tackles pressing societal challenges and contributes to both academic knowledge and global real-world solutions.
The Faculty of Science is one of the four faculties at Durham University. We are based across 8 academic departments, 7 research institutes, and 28 research centres, and support the Natural Sciences Department, the home of multidisciplinary science education at DU.
Whether it’s our world-leading research that seeks to empower and inspire, our commitment to educational excellence across eight academic departments, or our focus on the next generation of scientists through our science outreach and engagement. We push forward, break down barriers, asking the big questions and getting answers. Look closer at the Faculty of Science and watch our YouTube playlist.
