Our Kings Lynn campus benefits from 4 purpose‑built laboratories, specialising in biology, microbiology, forensic sciences, chemistry, physics, environmental sciences and material sciences. Our laboratories are designed and maintained to CLEAPPS standard (G014) as well as have the ability to undertake a range of advance laboratory procedures up to Level 6 including but not limited to genomics via PCR testing, 3D dissection tables for human physiology and data harvesters with over 20 various sensors that are carefully chosen to meet our curriculum needs.

The department is proud to have launched a state‑of‑the‑art weather monitoring station with remote monitoring and updating to the central weather system in the cloud.

We work collaboratively with partnership organisations, including the Anglia Ruskin University, University of East Anglia and John Innes, giving our students the best possible experience and access to real‑world laboratory conditions. We deliver a range of courses from Access to HE Diploma in medicine, biosciences, healthcare, forensics, A Level and GCSE. We run the prestigious Bioscience degree in partnership with ARU and are supported by a great team including fellow Lecturers, technicians and the School of Nursing.

We pride ourselves on our approach to the work‑life balance of our team and actively support job share and flexible working opportunities.
