Welcome to the School of Health and Human Sciences

We have a commitment to making a difference to local, national and international health services through education, research and knowledge transfer, thereby improving the experience of service users, carers and those who work with them.

For us collaborative working with partner organisations and service users is critical to delivering our unique product and ensuring that it is fit for purpose and in line with NHS Values. In addition, innovative teaching and progression routes ensure that we offer a wide entry gate into an academic environment.

Based in Colchester and Southend we will increasingly offer our services from both campuses, delivering foundation degrees to doctorates, research and consultancy where they are most needed.
