Faculty of Life Sciences

About the Faculty of Life Sciences

This new faculty has aligned its research and teaching activity at all scales across the life sciences: from the molecular, cellular, tissue and organ systems levels, through to the behavioural, social and environmental.

The Faculty of Life Sciences was created on 1 August 2018, bringing together the five Schools of:

Studying life sciences at Bristol

We have a long-standing tradition of excellence in research and teaching. Our broad range of expertise opens up a wealth of opportunities for all our students.

Here you can study a range of challenging, research-focused, undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, all taught in the context of world-leading research environments, using specialist equipment and facilities.

We also work closely with the Faculty of Health Sciences contributing to the delivery of the University’s three professional programmes: MedicineDentistry and Veterinary Science.

Life sciences research

Our research addresses a range of the important challenges in the life sciences.

From tackling ecosystem and global change, to innovation in fundamental biosciences for better human, animal, plant and ocean health.

From understanding animal and human behaviour and wellbeing, to developing future synthetic biotechnologies and so driving the UK’s bioeconomy.

We are changing the way we understand the fundamental principles of life and the natural world through a series of interrelated research themes.

Underpinning these research themes is a world class state-of-the-art infrastructure for Imaging, ‘Omics and informatics and Responsible research and innovation.

Early career research training in the faculty is supported by a powerful range of 3 and 4 year Doctoral Training Programmes.
