Through our Education, Innovation, and Research, the School of Health Sciences shapes health and care policy and practice through partnership working with students, service users, health and social care providers, industry and policy makers.
We work at the forefront of innovation, research, and education, and everything we do is driven by a shared goal of improving lives. By closely working with our NHS and social care partners, you’ll learn in an environment that reflects real-world practice and prepares you for your future career.
At the UEA School of Health Sciences, our wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses are designed in collaboration with healthcare professionals to ensure they meet the evolving needs of the sector. Our strong partnership working spans local NHS trusts, social care providers, and private healthcare organisations, giving students valuable exposure to diverse care settings.
We are proud of our local, national, and global partnerships, which support innovative teaching, research, and placement opportunities. These collaborations enable students to develop a broad perspective on health and wellbeing, from community-based care in Norwich and the East of England to global health challenges.
Through engagement with NHS, private healthcare, and health and social care sectors, our students gain the skills, confidence, and adaptability needed to thrive in modern healthcare environments and make a meaningful difference to people’s lives.
