Our Partner Schools
We work closely with our partner Schools to deliver world-class STEM teaching across multiple disciplines. By combining the CTL’s purpose-built facilities, expert support teams, and unique operating model with the academic knowledge and curriculum expertise of our partner Schools, we create a seamless, high-quality learning experience for every student.
Student learning outcomes are set by the School academics and the CTL technicians will work with the academics to optimise any practicals - whether improving the sustainability of a practical or looking at novel techniques to ensure consistent results.
Time in the lab is fundamental to the development of STEM students, and it is important that students are provided with a range of practical activities through their time at the University of Birmingham. Our shared-facility model allows each School to access laboratories that are specifically tailored to its teaching needs, and the CTL works alongside its partner Schools to maximise utilisation of the teaching facilities, crafting a bespoke timetable with quick turnovers between disciples and shared use of equipment, staff and consumables.
The CTL Labs are primarily used by students from the below disciplines:
