As a faculty in the UK's largest single-site university, our size and scale enables our teaching and research to cover a broad and diverse set of disciplines.

Our wide-ranging activities are organised into three Schools, each focusing on learning and research in a specific area.

- [School of Biological Sciences](https://www.bmh.manchester.ac.uk/about/structure/school-biological-sciences/)
- [School of Medical Sciences](https://www.bmh.manchester.ac.uk/about/structure/school-medical-sciences/)
- School of Health Sciences

## Learning across schools and divisions

Many of our programmes of study cross school and division boundaries to ensure they cover the breadth of knowledge and skills required for a career in biology, medicine and health.

You can discover more about studying with us and search for courses via our [subject area pages](https://www.bmh.manchester.ac.uk/study/subjects/).

## Research within schools and divisions
