The University of Bristol is a research-based university of international standing. It was founded in 1876 as University College, Bristol, and received a Royal Charter in 1909. It was the first higher education institution in England to admit women on an equal basis to men. Among UK Universities, only Cambridge has more departments graded 4 and 5 (national and international excellence). Both Earth Sciences and Chemistry are grade 5 Departments. The University is working hard to build on its track record as a dynamic international community dedicated to learning, discovery and enterprise. It is committed to attracting students with outstanding academic potential from right across the social spectrum. Two Bristol research groups are involved in the DeepBUG project. These are the Geomicrobiology group, based in the School of Earth Sciences, and the Organic Geochemistry Unit based in the School of Chemistry. |
