Health Sciences

About this course

Health sciences is a broad discipline that addresses the scientific and social dimensions of human health and the systems through which healthcare is organised and delivered. It draws on biology, psychology, sociology, and public health to understand how health is shaped by biological, behavioural, environmental, and social factors, and how healthcare services can be designed and managed to serve populations effectively. It is a subject that sits between the life sciences and the social sciences, and its breadth gives graduates a versatile understanding of health that is applicable across many professional settings. This three-year full-time programme at the University of Northampton develops your understanding of human biology and physiology, health promotion, epidemiology, public health, healthcare organisation, and the social determinants of health.
