The school provides an epidemiological, health and social care evidence base for community health sciences and applied psychology. This actively underpins our teaching and learning as well as the NHS-related work undertaken by many of our staff.
The School has five divisions:
- Epidemiology & Public Health
- Primary Care
- Psychiatry
- Rehabilitation & Ageing
- the Institute for Work, Health and Organisations
The common thread running through each of these divisions is that they all deal with communities, whether these be the entire populations of a region or country, a place of work, or particular client and patient groups such as the mentally ill, those with anti-social personality problems, families and children, people with disabilities, and elderly people.
Academic staff within the School develop their research in close collaboration with international academic partners, with local partners in the UK health service and with colleagues from other disciplines within the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences and elsewhere.
We have an international reputation for delivering high quality research into the social, economic, environmental, physical and behavioural aspects of health and their underlying mechanisms.
Postgraduate Opportunities
We offer postgraduate research opportunities to applicants interested in research into the social, economic, environmental, physical and behavioural aspects of health and their underlying mechanisms.
We also offer several taught Masters courses which have been developed to cater for the professional and educational needs of the School's specific disciplines.
