We’ve put together some interesting resources and recordings for you to access prior to joining us in September.
Our BSc Health Studies degree has a focus on promoting healthier populations and environments, an exciting area leading to a huge variety of career pathways for graduates who are prepared to make a difference in the world.
We hope you enjoy these resources below as a way to offer you some inspiration during the summer and to help you to start thinking like one of our students.

Our home at Chestnuts
Our base at Chestnuts Building is located on the North side of the A30 at our Egham campus.
This historic building has been transformed into a welcoming and contemporary space that is now home to the Department of Health Studies.
Originally built in the 1800s, Chestnuts has been extensively renovated to create a future-facing space, with new office accommodation, collaborative spaces and a new common room area for members of the department.
Both sustainability and accessibility have been driving principles throughout the renovation, and has led to the conversion of gas heating to electricity via Air Source Heat Pumps and the installation of Solar PV panels. A lift for those with accessibility needs has also been installed.
