The School of Life Sciences is located at the Riccarton Campus of Heriot Watt University on the outskirts of Edinburgh. One of six new university schools, Life Sciences includes a number of centres of excellence: the world renowned International Centre for Brewing and Distilling (ICBD), the Centre for Marine Biodiversity and Biotechnology (CMBB), and the Orkney-based International Centre for Island Technology (ICIT). Our specialisms also include Ocean Technology, Environmental Management, Biochemistry and Microbiology, Food Science, Health and Exercise Science, and Applied Psychology. Together, we administer a wide range of exciting teaching and research programmes. Both our teaching and research are divided into four interconnected programmes: Biology, Environmental and Marine Science, Sport and Exercise Science, and Applied Psychology.
