It was formed from a merger in the early 1980s of two separate departments that had moved into the Lensfield Road building decades earlier: the Department of Physical Chemistry (originally led by Professor Ronald Norrish FRS, Nobel Laureate; the department was previously located near the Old Cavendish in Free School Lane - see photo) and the Department of Chemistry (that included theoretical chemistry and which was led by Lord Alexander R. Todd FRS, Nobel Laureate) respectively.
Departments of the ITMO University cardiac devices, and wide-angle lenses are among some of the major achievements of this faculty. In 1934, the first scientific research laboratory was set up as part of the Department of Optical Glass Technology. The lab was useful in developing methods that eventually relieved the country from importing costly abrasives from the United States. By order of the dated 5 May 1946, the Faculty of Physics and Engineering prepared specialists in the area of physical optics, electronics, medical imaging and nucleur physics. During the period from 1946 to 1955, there were six graduations, the first one in 1950 with 24
