Our teaching and research is focused on real-world experience that leads to a real-world impact. At the Faculty of Health Sciences, we partner with community and industry groups to produce graduates that are job-ready – and innovative, world-leading research.
From the classroom to simulation-based learning, our students gain insight into current techniques, theories and trends – then apply these to professional placements and community engagement.
Hands-on workplace experience is a core part of our degrees. Study with us and you can take part in clinical placements with some of our 3000 healthcare partners.
