Formal teaching for these courses will be delivered at Parkgate Road in Chester from April 2021. The university will still own the Thornton site which will be used for research purposes. The close links that currently exist between the University and the companies based at Thornton will continue.
Why Study?
Our Mathematics and Physical Sciences courses provide real experience in working environments. Being based in an operating Science Park ensures our courses are industry-focused and that our graduates leave with confidence and relevant experience. Our courses are delivered in a supportive atmosphere and aim to maximise the employability of our graduates by developing key professional skills.
Campus
You will be based at Thornton Science Park, just outside Chester. At the University’s specialist science and engineering campus, students, academic researchers and on-site commercial enterprises work alongside each other and continue the legacy of innovation in the North West. The laboratories are equipped to a high level with research-quality instrumentation.
Careers / Employment
Each year we organise a specialised Mathematics careers event, including talks and one-to-one sessions with graduate employers from a range of sectors, Chester mathematics graduates, and expert careers advisers. On all the Department’s courses, work placements are available in your second year to ensure experience of applying your skills in real employment environments, and Physical Sciences students also conduct an extended project in the third year, which may be in collaboration with an industry partner, helping to build your experience and strengthen your CV.
