Welcome to NMES
We are a vibrant faculty based in the heart of London with a long tradition of world-leading research and teaching in physics, mathematics, chemistry, computer science and engineering.
Our internationally-renowned scientists are working across traditional subject boundaries, leading cutting-edge research, tackling global challenges and answering fundamental questions about our world and our universe.
Our vision for academic excellence
Our shared purpose and vision is to advance and promote academic excellence, innovation and impact in natural, mathematical and engineering sciences to meet global challenges to the benefit of our students, staff, and society.
In an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world, global challenges require interdisciplinary thinking and collaboration. Interdisciplinarity is at the centre of our academic activities - with our research and education drawing on strong core disciplines and designed collaboration across subject areas, to enhance student learning and speed up discovery and innovation.
Educating the next generation of scientists
We offer a wide-ranging portfolio of undergraduate, masters and PhD degrees. Studying with us enables you to work with and learn from world-leading academics in a supportive and friendly environment.
With nearly 5,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students and around 350 academic and research staff, our ambition is to inspire, educate and innovate - fostering the next generation of scientists and future leaders. We are also committed to promoting the careers of women and underrepresented groups working in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
A thriving research culture
The faculty has a distinguished history of research and we count Nobel Laureates among our former staff and students. Today, we have a wide and ever expanding range of research expertise in science, technology and engineering, ranging from the very small to the infinite.
Our innovative, interdisciplinary collaborations through research centres in Net Zero, the Physical Science of Life and Urban Science and Progress (CUSP) help advance solutions to complex societal and environmental challenges. From nanophotonics to cosmology, mechatronics to wireless communication, cell biology to theoretical physics; we are working at all levels to understand our world and to change it for the better.
Collaborating to advance innovation
We foster a thriving ecosystem of enterprise and innovation, working together with a range of industrial, public sector, cultural, and academic partners both in the UK and internationally, to advance knowledge exchange and innovation in research, development and education.
An inclusive environment in the heart of London
Our staff and students come from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, contributing to a diverse and culturally enriched community in the heart of London. Our people are at the heart of everything we do, and we aim to promote an inclusive environment for staff and students alike, with a commitment to furthering Equality, Diversity and Inclusion.
Our unrivalled central London locations have enabled us to foster close ties with tech, business and science industries, and we are within easy reach of major research libraries and leading scientific societies such as the Royal Society, Royal Society of Chemistry, BCS - the Chartered Institute for IT, the Institute of Physics, the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), and the London Mathematical Society.
An exciting future for science and technology at King’s
Supported by significant university investment, the faculty is embarking on a period of ambitious growth, which aims to build upon current strengths in natural and mathematical sciences, and establish King’s as the outstanding global institution in science and technology.
