º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ STEMLab

Opened in 2017, º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ's award-winning* STEMLab provides state-of-the-art facilities for our students with extensive modern and well-equipped laboratories for science, engineering and technology.

STEMLab is designed to enhance the º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ student experience by:

  • understanding the synergies between subjects and using the shared space to create opportunities for interdisciplinary working
  • increasing our capacity to provide students with hands-on practical experience in an industry-standard environment
  • offering a 'drop-in' engineering workshop, alongside a range of modern laboratories and teaching spaces.

STEMLab enables us to equip students with the skills they need to pursue STEM careers - and, in doing so, supports the vital role of the University in developing skilled graduates who are ready to make a difference across a range of industries.

Enterprise and innovation

STEMLab is also the home of our Enterprise Start-up Lab - providing support and expertise to help enterprising students develop their busines ideas.

The Start-Up Lab’s headquarters is an open plan, vibrant co-working space based in the STEMLab Ideas Factory.  Through peer support and coaching, the Start-Up Lab is º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ's focal point for entrepreneurial support.
