The UK has a special place in the history of science. From Isaac Newton to Charles Darwin, Rosalind Franklin and Stephen Hawking, we’ve been globally recognised for our discoveries since the very earliest days of science. We’ve also been one of the most innovative countries in the world in applying discoveries to every aspect of our lives, pioneering new ideas and technologies from the factory to the home. It is no surprise then that our research is world-leading. We produce the third highest amount of scientific research in the world. In fact, 91 Nobel Prize winners have been British over the years, and many others have chosen to study here. Our universities are currently home to plenty of future candidates.
