Facilities

Our laboratories are purpose built and stocked with the latest equipment, following an extensive investment in 2024, as our video highlights, so you’ll be able to hit the ground running when you graduate. Some examples of the equipment that students are wowed by are our Confocal Microscope and Flow Cytometer. All of the courses and modules are based within our Sighthill campus, just 20 minutes on the tram from the city centre.
