The Maths and Science faculty covers the major science subjects (Biology, Chemistry and Physics) as well as courses in Archaeology, Computing and Physical Education.
From 1995 -1999 I worked part time as a researcher for the Open University School of Education on Maths by Design, a project initially funded by The Design Council where we investigated the way mathematics is used in other subjects especially Design and Technology.
The most important education I received at university had far less to do with the chemistry, physics and maths I was studying, than with the realisation that the world was populated by a diverse range of complicated, unique individuals, each quite different to me.
