Why Life Sciences and Sustainability?
At the School of Life Sciences and Sustainability, students don't just study science; they use it to change the world.
Whether it's protecting ecosystems, advancing human health, or finding new meaning in complex biological data, our students graduate with the skills to make a difference. Through hands-on experiences in biology, environmental studies, and bioinformatics, SLSS equips students with the tools to tackle today's most pressing challenges - and thrive in careers that matter.
