Faculty of Science

We live in amazing times, with the human and natural worlds going through a period of change that is unprecedented for sheer pace and scale. Science and technology have extended the reach of our senses way past the edges of the map of human experience. We can see into the outer reaches of the universe, eavesdrop on events inside a living cell, reach back far into the ancient past and even peer into the future. And we can meet, socialise, swap ideas and trade with other people in virtual communities in virtual worlds. Our capacity for innovation is taking us beyond frontiers we didn't even know existed just a generation ago. This dramatic change is transforming lives, cultures, politics, industries and economies.

The Faculty of Science

Our faculty consists of nine diverse schools: Aviation; Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences; Biotechnology and Molecular Sciences; Chemistry; Materials Science and Engineering; Mathematics and Statistics; Optometry and Vision Science; Physics; and Psychology. Our resources include the UNSW Analytical Centre, field research stations at Cowan, Smiths Lake and Fowlers Gap, and we are partners in the beautiful Sydney Institute of Marine Science site on Sydney Harbour at Chowder Bay.

We are the administrative base for many research centres, including: the Climate Change Research Centre; Evolution and Ecology Research Centre; Centre for Marine Bio-Innovation; Centre for Materials Research in Energy Conversion; the Clive and Vera Ramaciotti Centre for Gene Function Analysis; Transport and Road Safety (TARS) Research; and the Centre for Groundwater Research (jointly with Faculty of Engineering).

We are associated with national Co-operative Research Centres in Environmental Biotechnology; Vision; Spatial Information; Bushfire; Clean Coal; Greenhouse Gas Technologies; and Sustainable Tourism. We are also part of Australian Research Council Centres of Excellence for Mathematical and Statistical Modelling of Complex Systems; Quantum Computer Technology (CQCT); Design in Light Metals; and Functional Nanomaterials. As well, we are part of the National Cooperative Research Infrastructure Scheme and the National Health and Medical Research Council's program in Post-traumatic Mental Health.
