Medical Sciences

Healthcare is a vital area of study, in which you can enhance well-being, prevent disease, improve diagnoses, develop new therapies and advance clinical practice.

You’ll be encouraged to improve your understanding of disease and develop new treatments.

Excellent links with industry

We have a well-established network of clinical partners hosted on campus and regionally. Our campus is home to NHS clinics for Speech and language therapy and young people mental health, where students work and learn, and to a state-of-the-art Clinical Simulation suite used by students and NHS staff. Together with The Royal Berkshire Hospital we have set up a Health Innovation Partnership to help support the development of health-related programmes and new research opportunities.

Learn from experts in the field

Our programmes have been developed in partnership with local NHS healthcare trusts and hospitals to ensure you will have the skills and knowledge needed for a career in healthcare. You will be taught by experienced NHS staff and academics whose research has improved outcomes and understanding in the sector.
