Specialised teaching laboratories, seminar rooms, a computer suite and a lecture theatre have all been finished to a high specification. In addition, students will have access to state-of-the-art instrumentation including a 600 MHz NMR, various mass spectrometers, RP-HPLC, UV-Vis spectrometers and an award-winning bio-imaging suite.
