Our Departmental Student Intranet enables you to access electronic learning material such as this programme handbook, your assessment schedule, your module descriptors and information that is pertinent to your programme of study. The Student Intranet also includes general information relevant to Health Sciences students such as Departmental policies, together with links to relevant pages on the main University website.
