Faculty of Medicine and Health

Currently, we have over 4,000 undergraduates and over 1,500 postgraduates studying for either a research degree (MRes, MPhil, PhD, MD, Prof Doc) or following one of the many taught Master's programmes within the Faculty.

Although many students have clinical training, at least as many are non-clinical scientists with BSc degrees in disciplines such as psychology, radiography, cardiology and audiology who share an interest in work at the interface of basic and clinical science.

The Faculty Graduate School also supports education and training of the best and brightest postgraduate researchers.

Our extensive research portfolio supports basic, applied, clinical and translational activity to bring about patient benefit.

The Athena SWAN Charter recognises commitment to advancing women’s careers and celebrates good employment practice in STEMM academia: science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine.

The Athena SWAN Charter is a national initiative aimed at supporting and developing the careers of women in Science, Engineering and Technology (SET) disciplines in higher education and research. The University became a Charter member in 2008 and achieved a Bronze University Award in 2009, which was successfully renewed in 2013.
