3.1 Introduction to study in the Faculty

As you begin your time in the Faculty, you’ll be joining a very diverse community. Some of you will only have studied and lived in the UK before, while others may have experience of learning in a different country. Students entering the Faculty also arrive with a wide range of different qualifications, in a vast array of different subject areas.

So what does this mean for you? Opportunities, certainly, as you’ll benefit from diverse insights into how people live and study around the world. This is particularly important for you as students in the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, where the curriculum sometimes relies on going beyond the academic literature to discover what’s going on in the world outside the classroom. But the diversity of our student population also brings challenges in making sure that you’re all ready to achieve your full potential from your earliest days with us.
