The School of Astrophysics was established at King's University in March 1992. Current
research spans topics in stellar astronomy including novae and related stars; regions of
star formation; brown dwarfs, extra-solar planets and the environments of Be stars. Work
in the area of extragalactic astronomy and cosmology encompasses galactic dynamics;
interacting and merging galaxies; the evolution of galaxies, and large-scale structure.

The School of Biological and Earth Sciences areas include biochemistry, cancer,
toxicology, medical cell biology, immunological method development, biochemistry of
nutrition, waste water treatment, fermentation technology, antibiotic production,
mycology, microbial genetics and photosynthesis.

The School of Psychology has historically had a core of research active staff producing
publications in major peer reviewed journals over a number of years. This has involved
collaboration in the University with the School of Education, Schools within the Faculty of
Business and Law, the School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences, the School of
Biomedical Sciences and the School of Nursing and Healthcare Studies and externally with
other institutions, industry and local government. More recently, the School has
expanded it's existing programs to produce quality research in a range of new areas such
as human factors, cognition, developmental psychology, counselling and substance
abuse.

The School of Sports and Exercise Science provides programs in Sports Physiology,
Sports Psychology, Sports Management, Sports Biomechanics and Sports Therapy.
