Health Sciences

Be part of the fightback against disease

Health Sciences comprises a dynamic learning and research environment that bridges the gap between science and society. How do diseases spread, and how do we identify them?

The things we eat. The places we work. The spaces we visit. All of these things directly affect our health, and our wellbeing. You'll learn the knowledge and skills you need to help people develop better habits, and ensure that public and private spaces are safer and healthier places to be. Broaden your understanding by choosing Leeds Beckett University.

In Biomedical Science, our students explore the molecular and cellular mechanisms that drive human health and disease. From studying the intricacies of genetic disorders to advancing cancer research, our goal is to translate cutting-edge scientific discoveries into therapeutic solutions. To support your career goals, our courses are designed with a strong focus on practical, real-world experience. We work closely with local NHS pathology labs and Biotechnology companies. This gives you hands-on training in the latest laboratory techniques used to diagnose and monitor diseases. Our accreditation by the Institute of Biomedical Science and the Royal Society of Biology means you'll graduate with industry-recognised credentials, equipped to shape your own future in biomedical science.

Environmental Health lies at the heart of our commitment to understanding the external factors that affect human health and wellbeing. From the air we breathe, the food we eat, the water we drink and the homes we live in, to the wider impact of human-made hazards on the world around us, poor health often results from poor environments, and by helping to improve the conditions in which we live and work, we make a huge difference to the public's health and wellbeing.

The Health and Safety discipline equips professionals with the expertise and tools to create safer workplaces and healthier environments. Our courses cover occupational health hazards, safety management systems, risk assessment, and regulatory compliance. We develop leaders who can design, implement, and evaluate policies and practices that manage risks, protect workers and the public, and reduce injuries and illnesses across industries
