School of Health & Social Care
Now part of the School of Health
Established in August 2009 to support the collaborative education of nurses, midwives, social workers and allied health professionals and further develop the University’s world’s leading research, the new School of Health brings together the internationally respected School of Nursing, Midwifery and Community Health and School of Health and Social Care, making it one of Scotland’s largest providers of health care education.
A leader in Scotland and abroad
Our school is one of the largest providers of Health and Social Care graduates in the UK. Through our five departments - Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Podiatric Medicine and Surgery, Radiography and Social Work - we offer a range of undergraduate, postgraduate and professional development courses. The professional composition of the school - unique in Scotland - provides an ideal platform for inter-professional learning and inter-agency collaboration. In fact, the school is a recognised leader in inter-professional learning in Scotland and internationally.
Our research activities contributed to establishing the university’s position as a world leading centre for health research as a result of the recent RAE 2008 success, where 60% of research was ranked world leading or internationally excellent with a further 30% rated of international quality.
