Overview
The School of Life Sciences is unique in providing research and education across disciplines ranging from food science to psychology in an integrated and multidisciplinary fashion.
We started over 100 years ago offering specialist courses to the brewing industry that flourished in Edinburgh at that time. This expanded into biochemistry, food science, microbiology and marine biology and more recently we added exercise science and applied psychology. Today we have some 50 academic staff engaged in teaching and research located in modern academic buildings on the Riccarton Campus and in the new Sports Village, a mutli-purpose research and service facility for sport and exercise.
