Health and medical science is an incredibly broad field, and there are lots of career paths you could follow. At ARU, we've got a course to fit your ambitions.
You might be interested in frontline healthcare. If that's the case, you can train as a paramedic, operating department practitioner or counsellor – or, at postgraduate level, a physician associate, mental health professional or surgical practitioner. Or perhaps it's healthcare management that interests you, in which case our MSc or MBA courses can help you fine-tune your leadership skills.
Alternatively, you can choose to focus on medical, biomedical or pharmaceutical science – developing your skills through hands-on research and lab experimentation.
As a student at ARU, you'll join one of two faculties. The Faculty of Science and Engineering trains biomedical scientists in our state-of-the-art Science Centre. Meanwhile, our Faculty of Health, Education, Medicine and Social Care has been training healthcare professionals for more than 25 years, so you know you're in good hands.
Our learning spaces at ARU include:
"Looking back upon the last ten months, it is truly astonishing how far my cohort has come. I feel it is a testament to the fantastic lectures and tutors at ARU just how much we've learnt and developed since we began the course."
