Child health is facing rapid and complex change. Rising levels of chronic conditions, mental health difficulties, and health inequalities mean that children’s needs are becoming more diverse and more urgent. Advances in genomics, digital health, data science and personalised medicine are transforming how we understand and support child development and wellbeing, requiring professionals who can use these advances effectively.

The Child Health Sciences BSc responds to the need for professionals who can work across biological, psychological and social domains, interpret evidence, and contribute to services and policies that support child health. On the course, you will examine the determinants of physical and mental health, inequalities in child health, and the influence of family, policy, systems and environment on outcomes for babies, children and young people. You will also develop skills in research methods, data analysis and the use of new technologies, including artificial intelligence.

The BSc runs over three years, with the option to continue to a fourth year leading to an MSci. From Year 2, you will select a study option in one of three areas:

  • Biology, Cell and Gene Therapy
  • Psychology and Mental Health
  • Public Health and Health Promotion
