The Programme
• Three year programme started in September 2012

Interprofessional learning
In each academic year some modules will be taken with other
students from the School of Health & Life Sciences
This will allow students to:
– become part of the wider student body
– become accustomed to collaborating with the other professional
groups that they be working with when they qualify
