On 26 July 2024, it was announced that AECC University College has changed its name to Health Sciences University (HSU). This follows a lengthy period of consultation and receipt of relevant approvals.

Within the announcement it was stated that:

“This new name reflects our broadened scope, depth and level of ambition. We currently offer around 30 accredited health sciences courses and apprenticeships across 10 distinct professions and a growing portfolio of accredited CPD and master classes to the registered and unregistered health and care workforce. In addition, we have developed a large suite of clinical services and have a growing multi-professional research environment and expertise.

There will be further diversification of our portfolio following the merger with the University College of Osteopathy from August 2024, and subsequently the launch of a new Health Business School and a range of health professions apprenticeships.

With that clear focus, we have decided to adopt a new name and a new identity which signals our future ambitions.”
