Science Facilities

Science Laboratories

Consisting of two laboratories and a preparation room, with bespoke fit for purpose laboratory furniture and equipment in high quality, digitally enhanced spaces, our science labs are the perfect space to enable our students to thrive. 

BCUHB Facility

Thanks to an agreement between Wrexham University and local Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB), students can access and benefit from state-of-the-art molecular, analytical and diagnostic equipment located in several laboratories such as 

Tŷ Dysgu

Tŷ Dysgu is our on-campus residential learning space, used for realistic training scenarios across allied health degrees.

From paramedics responding to emergencies to forensic students investigating crime scenes, it offers hands-on experience in a home environment, helping students develop practical skills in interprofessional and independent settings.

Taphonomic Research Facility

Our DEFRA-licensed Taphonomic Research Facility is one of the UK’s few outdoor decomposition sites. Students gain hands-on forensic experience using emerging technologies to study post-mortem changes in a secure, ethical environment, enhancing their understanding of real-world forensic science.

Osteology Workroom

This specialist workroom supports hands-on learning in forensic science, anthropology, and bioarchaeology. Students work with real human and animal skeletal remains in a practical, well-equipped space, ideal for observation, measurement, and documentation, enhancing both teaching and research through direct engagement with curated collections and professional-standard facilities.

Analytical Instrument & Research Labs

Our instrumental analysis lab supports student learning and research in chemistry and materials science. Home to the Centre for Water Soluble Polymers, it explores hydrocolloids and functional materials like nanocellulose, using advanced equipment for sample processing and characterisation, bridging science with real-world applications in food, pharma, and cosmetics.
