  1. Galaxy formation and evolution

    The Galaxy Formation and Evolution Research Group looks at population studies of dwarf galaxies up to the most massive clusters of galaxies, supermassive black holes and detailed modelling of the internal structure of galaxies. Discover more about our expertise, who we work with and meet the researchers.

  3. Sport and Exercise Sciences courses

    Excellent teaching and real-world experience sets you up for a bright future in the sport science and exercise industry. Our undergraduate and postgraduate degrees are in sport and exercise science, science and football, sports psychology, biomechanics, physiology and nutrition for sports.

  4. About the Institute and what we do

    When it comes to sport science, the Research Institute for Sport and Exercise Sciences (RISES) have been ranked second in the UK for research quality at the REF 2014. We maintain a high profile international reputation for our research outputs and impact. Find out more about our research.

  5. Star formation and evolution and stellar populations

    By studying the gas and stars that shape the Milky Way as well as other galaxies in the local Universe, we can understand the life cycles of stars like our Sun, unravel the chemical enrichment history of the universe, and probe the existence of black holes across a wide mass spectrum.

  6. Resources

    Some of the members within the Research Centre in Evolutionary Anthropology and Palaeoecology present their research findings on television programmes, including National Geographic, and at various conferences. Watch videos about human evolution, conservation strategies, animal behaviour and forensic practices.
