Life Sciences covers many areas of science which have an impact on our everyday lives. You will focus in particular on human, animal and plant life and may choose to study areas from essential biochemistry, health and disease, cognition, biodiversity, evolution or our impact on the world around us.
Research Excellence
The majority of research within the Centre for Life Sciences reflects broad strength in biomedical science and there are strong links with the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. These relationships provide opportunities to interact with clinicians and translational research at the University Hospitals of North Midlands (UHNM).
