Research environment
The unit’s research environment is excellent. It has extensive equipment, with nine
ALD units. Technical support is limited, with students carrying out most of the
maintenance. This has advantages in that the students learn the fundamental principles
of the experimental equipment they use in the graduate studies. More conventional
equipment (NMR, MS) is shared in the department as a whole, but access is not a
problem. The acquisition of equipment has been considerably assisted by a policy of
allowing groups to retain a proportion of the overheads on the grants raised. The level
of funding is in general high, and only the salaries of tenured staff are paid from the
budget. There is a good supply of PhD students and postdoctoral researchers.
