Faculty of Life Sciences
The combination of numeracy, research, report writing skills and team work make graduates of the Faculty of Life Sciences very attractive to employers. Many alumni go on to careers in education, health, social work or human resources.
The faculty combines the School of Psychology and the School of Human Sciences. Our £30 million science centre offers unparalleled facilities for teaching and research and the largest open plan laboratory in Europe.
