welcome to the school of health sciences

The School of Health Sciences is located within the College of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences and comprises four distinct but cognate disciplines: Health Promotion, Occupational Therapy, Podiatry and Speech and Language Therapy. These disciplines promote health and well being in all aspects of health care ranging from population health and policy to biopsychosocial models of health.

Each discipline provides high quality, innovative training and education within their respective fields, based on current best evidence at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The student learning experience remains a central focus and the ethos within the School is to encourage interdisciplinary education, training and research and to promote cross disciplinary working through the sharing of knowledge, skills and expertise across these unique areas of health care.

The Mission Statement for the School is:

“Optimising health and well-being by promoting excellence and innovation in teaching and research through interdisciplinary Health Sciences.”
