STRUCTURE AND GOVERNANCE THE COLLEGE OF SOCIAL SCIENCES, ARTS AND HUMANITIES
THE COLLEGE OF LIFE SCIENCES
The College, headed by the Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Head of College and Dean of Medicine, Professor Philip Baker, is a thriving community of academic expertise based in laboratory, clinical, health and social science settings. The College has nearly 1,000 staff and approaching 4,000 students in its three schools, which cover the broad spectrum of biological, medical and human sciences. Based in some of the newest purpose-built scientific accommodation in the country, the College offers a wide range of courses and expertise, with quality recognised throughout the scientific community. The College continues to attract new research grants and awards, new colleagues, partnerships with the NHS, industry and the public sector. The annual research income is more than £30 million.
The College is headed on an interim basis by Professor Henrietta O’Connor, and is responsible for approximately 12,000 students, nearly one third of which come from overseas, and 800+ staff. The College includes a wide range of social sciences and arts disciplines, and supports a variety of interdisciplinary work.

The distinctive research strengths of the college are captured within the following themes: • Heritage (History and Science of the Human Past) • Creativity • Culture and Media • Diversity , Equality and Rights • Crime, Intelligence and Security • Health Research in Humanities and Social Sciences • W ork, Employment and Productivity
THE COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING
The College, headed by Professor Paul Monks, comprises seven research-led departments: Chemistry, Engineering, Geography, Geology, Informatics, Mathematics and Physics and Astronomy. Together, these departments teach approximately 4000 students, undertaking diverse programmes of study, from human geography through a range of laboratory-based subjects to engineering. They also generate more than a third of the University’s research income. Although each department has a distinct identity, there are a number of major interdisciplinary research activities, typified by centres in Space Research, Climate Change Research, Mathematical/Computational Modelling and Advanced Microscopy. Researchers within the College have international reputations and collaborations with researchers throughout the world, making it an exciting environment for both research and teaching.
