Science has the power to solve the world’s most urgent challenges. We know interdisciplinary collaboration across the sciences and beyond is critical to accelerate breakthrough discoveries. King's has a rich history of pioneering cutting-edge science. Our scientists discovered the structure of DNA, developed electromagnetism and delivered the first human-to-human blood transfusion. We are now ushering a new era of scientific innovation. Uniting our collective expertise, we are responding to urgent global questions that extend from net zero carbon futures to quantum technologies.


We aim to become the UK’s leading university for future-facing science education and a global powerhouse in cross-disciplinary scientific research. We are advancing connections across the sciences to deliver teaching and research that inspires solutions to complex global issues. By nurturing, attracting and bringing together talent working at the interface of fundamental and applied science, we are shaping an ethos of discovery rooted in interdisciplinary thinking.
