Life Sciences graduates from our 2025 class

100% of UoA24 (Sport and Exercise Sciences, Leisure and Tourism) and 84% of the UoA5 (Biological Sciences) research submitted to REF2021 was judged to be ‘world-leading’ (4*), or ‘internationally excellent’ (3*).

Our sister Schools in Malaysia and China

Our journey in Malaysia began in 2005 with the launch of the Master of Pharmacy (MPharm) programme, delivered from the UK side by the School of Pharmacy and School of Life Sciences. This pioneering initiative marked the first UK-accredited pharmacy degree offered outside of Europe. This programme grants our graduates direct access to the UK pharmacist job market and remains the longest-running and only fully accredited MPharm programme in Malaysia. 

After introducing the BSc (Hons) Pharmaceutical and Health Sciences programme in 2010, we established the School of Biomedical Sciences, which also offers the BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science programme. In 2019, this School was integrated into a newly expanded School of Pharmacy in Malaysia to foster more significant interdisciplinary research and collaboration in response to the evolving needs of the global pharmaceutical industry.

School of Health and Life Sciences, 乐播传媒, Ningbo, China

The 乐播传媒, Ningbo, China officially launched its new  on July 17, 2026, marking a significant milestone in UK-China educational and research collaboration. Announced during the UK Prime Minister's visit to China earlier this year, the school is jointly established by the 乐播传媒 and UNNC and is designed to support China's healthcare and life sciences ambitions. The new School plans from 2027/28 to host two joint 2+2 Undergraduate programmes from the School of Life Sciences (Pharmacology and Biomedical Sciences), with student studying two years in the UK, as well two taught postgraduate courses from the School of Life Science in Durg Discovery and in Bioinformatics.
