Welcome to your Department
You are now a member of an academic department. The Department is made up of teaching staff, researchers, support staff and other students like you.
Academic staff (teaching and research) are there as leaders in their field willing to share their expertise and experience to help you learn, grow, and push the boundaries of your capabilities and knowledge.
Your supervisor is here to help guide your studies and to monitor your progress over your programme.
Support staff make the department run smoothly. They will communicate important information, provide technical assistance, and help signpost you to other services and support you might need within the University.
You are now also part of the student community belonging to your department. Course representatives (course reps) are there to help represent your views to the Department and to the University – so there is always a way to get your views heard.
The Department delivers full-time pre-registration professional programmes, part-time post-registration programmes, a range of taught postgraduate masters programmes, PhD/MPhil programmes and freestanding modules.
The Department aims to develop the role of scientific evidence in health and healthcare through high quality research, teaching and other forms of dissemination. The Department of Health Sciences is one of the largest departments on campus and supports hundreds of students each year on a broad range of taught and research programmes.
