Our structure

As a faculty in the UK's largest single-site university, our size and scale enables our teaching and research to cover a broad and diverse set of disciplines.

Our wide-ranging activities are organised into three Schools, each focusing on learning and research in a specific area.

  • School of Biological Sciences
  • School of Medical Sciences
  • School of Health Sciences

Learning across schools and divisions

Many of our programmes of study cross school and division boundaries to ensure they cover the breadth of knowledge and skills required for a career in biology, medicine and health.

You can discover more about studying with us and search for courses via our subject area pages.
