Laboratories and Support Facilities

The School is equipped with a number of specialist research laboratories and analytical facilities, all backed up by technical support. There are also high-quality computing labs for teaching and research, and resulting from a major rebuilding program at Kingston, the School has specially designed teaching laboratories which have been available since October 2000. Analytical facilities are used by final year undergraduate and MSc students during dissertation research, as well as by PhD students and established researchers.
