Introducing Our School
The School of Health, Sport and Bioscience is based at the UEL Stratford Campus and is an exciting, friendly and innovative school, which has rapidly grown in both popularity and size over the last few years. The School offers a range of undergraduate, postgraduate and research programmes in scientific, medical and health subjects. These include Physiotherapy, Podiatry, Health Studies, Sports Science and a wide range of Bioscience subjects. We also have an Extended Degree which provides the skills and knowledge required for progression onto a full UEL degree programme.
The Stratford Campus has recently benefited from considerable investment and the School has a wide range of newly upgraded and modern facilities. Our purpose built Centre for Clinical Education incorporates the London Centre for Podiatric Education, which is unique in London, and offers NHS treatments for local patients. It is where our Podiatric Medicine students are trained and is one of the finest facilities of its kind in the UK. The Centre also houses the Stratford Centre for Herbal Medicine. The campus will soon benefit from a new library which is due to be completed in early 2013.
In recent years, Research in the School has developed significantly, largely due to our success in RAE2008 and our revised Research and Knowledge Exchange Strategy. Research is carried out at national and international levels, undertaken with a variety of partners including the NHS, industry and other UK and overseas universities. Research is concentrated in research groups, including the internationally recognised Institute for Health and Human Development (IHHD).
East London is now recognised as a great place to live, work and study. With the success of London's bid for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, we are on the threshold of tremendous change, and at the heart of the most exciting urban development project in Europe. So if you want to be part of an established and growing School, in a rapidly developing and dynamic area of the UK, then come and join us.
