Health and Social Care

Transforming and saving lives. 

MEET US
We are the largest School of Health & Social Care in Scotland with over 130 highly trained staff.
1

We take an international approach towards healthcare to help students, staff and researchers to better understand global health and social care challenges and improve the lives of people around the world. 

2

When national organisations need results, they come to us. We take on the challenges and deliver results that directly affect health and social care at a local, national and global level.

Our professors are consulted on major national health projects, and have recently joined forces with the Scottish Association for Mental Health.

    Your degree offers you a world of choice. Many of our graduates find employment within NHS Lothian, NHS Borders and the private sector. However, you will also be able to work anywhere within the UK, the EU, and even further afield, in some cases. We want you to go out there and make the world a better place.
