Faculty of Health
Health is an area of major growth and investment at Keele University. New Schools of Medicine and Pharmacy started taking undergraduates in 2002 and 2006 respectively. Postgraduate education and training in these disciplines is complemented by research activity that is focussed on clinical laboratory and community medicine within the Institutes of Science & Technology in Medicine and Primary Care & Health Sciences. The Faculty of Health is based in new custom-built accommodation on the University campus and at the nearby teaching hospital.
Keele's commitment to inter-disciplinarity is reflected by inter-professional health education at undergraduate level and research collaboration with health-related academic groups in the Faculty of Humanities. Collaboration also extends to companies on the University's Science Park where around half of the current 40 businesses are related to biomedical R&D and healthcare.
