The Faculty of Science has outstanding research in many different fields. With our nine departments and other units we cover all the major academic fields in science. Examples are research about animal super senses, the development of life on earth and climate change. Further examples are research about future materials, effective medicines, origins of the Milky Way and research about nature's smallest components.
