School of Nursing and Health Sciences

Our vision is to be an international leader in the provision of healthcare professionals who will then influence improvement in health outcomes through education and research. We collaborate with our partners in practice to empower this generation of nurses, midwives, and allied health professionals with the knowledge and skills to maximise the impact of education and research to influence health policy and service delivery.

Together with our strong collaborative links with the NHS and care sector, has created many opportunities for shared learning across the health and social care professions.

In addition to our range of undergraduate and postgraduate education for nurses and midwives, we have focused programmes in the areas of musculoskeletal physiotherapy and diagnostic imaging.

The School is recognised as one of the top Schools in Scotland in relation to its research portfolio, with over 85% of research being recognised internationally. The portfolio is focused in the areas of long term conditions and e-health and is being undertaken in collaboration with clinical colleagues, both nationally and internationally.

Our academic staff are committed to developing excellence in all aspects of education and research and they are at the forefront of modern student-centred teaching methods.

The School has an excellent international profile and reputation which has grown significantly over the years as a result of the distance learning education that is provided to our students across the world. This allows us to deliver programmes in different settings as well as offering students the opportunity to study in Dundee.
