About the School of Life Sciences and Education

In a consistently changing world graduates are being asked to master a wider, more diverse role within their chosen field of expertise.

With that in mind the School of Life Sciences and Education works with key external partners to plan and deliver courses that translate to the real-world skills sets matching employment needs in bioscience, education, psychology and sport and exercise. We offer a full spectrum of courses suited to the varied needs of the student with courses ranging from two-year accelerated degrees to fully online Masters degrees to Professional Doctorates. This gives the student flexibility to best match their mode and level of study to their current needs and aspirations and helps balance current work and life commitments.

From day one, students are immersed in exciting, interactive and digitally supported learning opportunities often problem based and with high degrees of practical interaction. By focusing on applying research to real-world settings, hands-on approaches, and by working with a wide range of industrial and professional partners, we provide students with the knowledge, skills and networks to maximise their employability and career prospects.

Our staff have a wealth of subject experience and expert knowledge from both practice and academic fields built upon a strong research focus that helps make a real difference to a diversity of communities.
