As the former Shell Technology Centre, Thornton Science Park is a unique centre of excellence that remains at the forefront of scientifi c research and development. As a working science park home to pilot-scale, specialist facilities, it is the ideal learning ground for students studying within the Faculty of Science and Engineering. In addition to practical laboratory work and problem-based learning, students studying at Thornton have the opportunity to work with on-site science and technology businesses in a number of ways, including placements and projects.

Campus facilities include a café and restaurant, all-weather pitch and the Games Zone social hub.

Thornton Science Park is home to the following subject areas:
