Established in 2004, the faculty spans a range of "discipline areas" consisting of the Schools of "Chemical Engineering and Analytical Science"; "Chemistry"; "Computer Science"; "Earth, Atmospheric and Environmental Science"; "Physics and Astronomy"; "Electrical & Electronic Engineering"; "Materials"; "Mathematics"; and "Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering".

The faculty includes most former UMIST departments, exceptions being Optometry and Neurosciences (now in the Faculty of Life Sciences), Manchester School of Management (now part of Manchester Business School MBS), and part of the the Department of Computation which was spit between the School of Computer Sciecne and MBS. The duplicated departments of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics were merged, and Materials Science was already a joint department. In terms of the total number of staff and student numbers the faculty is larger than the whole of UMIST, which was at one time the Faculty of Technology of the Victoria University of Manchester (paradoxically at the same time as being an independent institution)cite web
