s us, and hopefully you, about the world.
In the School of Life Sciences and Education we work together with key external partners to deliver flexible and applied courses in psychology, sport & exercise, biological and biomedical sciences, and education. Our students experience exciting, interactive and digitally supported learning environments. We focus on applying research and learning to real work settings, and working with employers and industry partners to provide our students with employability skills and networks and to contribute to our communities.
Our staff are conducting international research and our staff and students are making a real difference in our regional communities.
