COVID-19 update

Find out how we’re adapting during COVID-19.

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, including the Royal Berkshire Hospital and Berkshire Healthcare Foundation Trust, and together we have established the Thames Valley Clinical Trials Unit to help deliver impactful clinical outcomes from our scientific discoveries.

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.

Careers

Our graduates go on to work for employers such as the NHS, Public Health England, and pharmaceutical or academic laboratories. Others have found work in scientific publishing or clinical trials, or have gone on to commence a medical, dentistry or veterinary degree course.

Practical experience

Options to complete multiple small placements in primary and secondary healthcare settings, or the healthcare industry, are built into your degree timetable. Ideal to show understanding and experience when applying for graduate medicine programmes.

Courses

When I first walked on to campus, it just felt like home. I knew straight away that this was the place for me and I would be happy here.
