School of Medicine
The School of Medicine is a circa £86m project that attracts graduates from a variety of disciplines to study medicine and live in the North West, with the ambition that they will ultimately work there as doctors. It trains the new generation of doctors to deliver whole person care with skill and compassion, to meet future long-term workforce needs in the healthcare system in Northern Ireland.
Phase 2 will comprise of new teaching and research accommodation in our Derry~Londonderry campus and as part of the wider programme a new MedEdWest teaching facility at Altnagelvin Hospital and a new build extension to the existing Clinical Translational Research Centre (C-TRIC) facility at the Altnagelvin site.
The School of Medicine’s Research Strategy to advance medical treatments which improve health outcomes is built on three Research Clusters – Translational Experimental Research, Clinical Medicine, and Public and Population Health.
Centre for Digital Healthcare Technologies
The Centre for Digital Healthcare Technology (CDHT) is a pioneering project with £42.9m investment, aimed at transforming healthcare through cutting-edge digital solutions.
Located beside Ulster University Belfast, CDHT is a world-class hub where academia, industry, and clinicians collaborate to accelerate the development of medical devices and diagnostics. By using clinical research, data analytics, and innovative technology, CDHT addresses the pressing challenges of an ageing population and the increasing demand on healthcare services. The project promises substantial economic benefits to the region, including the creation of 1240 jobs
Centre for Food and Drug Discovery
The Centre for Food & Drug Discovery is a £22m project as part of the growth deal partnership with Causeway Coast & Glens. Based in Coleraine, it is a key innovation project that will significantly expand the university’s research and innovation capacity. It builds upon our world class research capabilities and established track record in the arena of Biomedical Sciences.
The centre will be a one-stop-shop facility for all aspects of the drug discovery and food innovation pipeline, accelerating development, testing and bringing products to market to enhance the wider health of the population.
Ground breaking collaborative research
It is a research-led, industry-facing project, developed in response to the identified strategic needs of the life science sector in collaboration with key stakeholders and partners promoting business collaboration with the food and biopharmaceutical industry. It will deliver ground breaking collaborative research, increase economic growth and productivity and create a skills pipeline.
