With a commitment to excellence in both undergraduate and postgraduate education, the School is at the cutting edge of research in all the individual and combined disciplines.
The philosophy of the School is to foster excellence in all its disciplines and this is evident from the calibre of our programmes in Physiotherapy, Public Health, Safety and Health at Work and Sports. The focus is on student-centred learning in an environment where research and scholarship stimulate high achievement. Our graduates contribute to their professions world-wide and enhance the international reputation of our programmes and the University.
The School has a long tradition in Taught Postgraduate Programmes which offer graduates a unique opportunity to specialise in a particular area of their field. These programmes are internationally recognised and in some areas lead to accreditation in that particular discipline. Training opportunities in specialist areas of Healthcare are also available to graduates. The School’s research programmes are organised into distinct hubs of activity: Clinical Epidemiology; Cystic Fibrosis Registry; Food and Health; Geary Institute Programmes; Health Services Research; HRB CSTAR; Occupational and Environmental Studies; Physiotherapy, Rehabilitation and Health, and Sport, Exercise and Health.
