About us

AECC University College becomes Health Sciences University

Our Bournemouth campus is situated moments away from some of the best beaches in the UK, while our London campus is just a walk from Waterloo Station. Established in 1965, we have been at the forefront of musculoskeletal health for over 55 years and offer a wide array of specialist health science courses, including:

  • Chiropractic 
  • Sport, clinical exercise and rehabilitation science 
  • Psychology, sport and exercise psychology 
  • Medical ultrasound and radiography 
  • Physiotherapy 
  • Speech and language therapy
  • Dietetics
  • Occupational therapy
  • Podiatry

We are driven to deliver excellence in all these areas, to provide the next generation of health professionals, to upskill our current workforce, and to improve public health.

The standard of education is great but it’s also such a valuable life experience studying here due to the number of international students that choose to come here too. It creates a very diverse learning environment which you may otherwise not come into contact with. It’s a learning experience, and it helps you to grow as a person and to always consider the bigger picture and respect varying points of view and ideas. Studying here has also helped to shape me as an all-round healthier person – I started going to the gym and making more healthy lifestyle choices with the things that I eat, all because of studying here at Health Sciences University and the obvious attention that is given to good health.
