Relocation of School of Health Sciences

The School of Health Sciences undergraduate programmes will relocate to the Magee campus in Derry~Londonderry from September 2022.

Postgraduate Health Sciences teaching will move to the University’s Belfast campus at the same time.

The School of Health Sciences will remain at Jordanstown for the 21/22 academic year to enable sufficient time for transition arrangements to the new locations.

This location decision reflects the benefits and opportunities presented by the co-location of the School of Medicine, Paramedic Practice and the award-winning School of Nursing based at the University’s Magee campus.

Our Magee campus will best enable the NHS strategic emphasis on development of multi-disciplinary teams and rich opportunities for interprofessional learning.
