Learning by doing and connected to reality
From the first year, students apply their knowledge in laboratories, research projects and internships in institutions and companies in the health, pharmaceutical and environmental sectors. This connection with professional practice guarantees a solid, up-to-date and innovation-oriented education.
Research and science at the service of society
The Faculty promotes lines of research focused on biotechnology, health, the environment and sustainability, generating knowledge that contributes directly to the well-being of people and the planet. The joint work between teachers, researchers and students allows us to advance towards applied, rigorous science with a real impact.
"Today, scientific knowledge is the pillar that supports the growth of our society".

A teaching model that combines theoretical training with real-life practice
The main objective of the School is the transmission of knowledge following a student-centred pedagogical model. Evidence-based scientific knowledge characterises the disciplines of Psychology, Nursing, Physiotherapy and Sport. The rigorous transfer of this knowledge, but at the same time with the proximity that characterises Nebrija University, is the hallmark of the Faculty.
To achieve this objective, the University provides students with the most advanced tools in the teaching of health, psychology and sports degrees. You will learn from teaching staff with extensive experience in their respective areas of knowledge and who are supported by a Medical Education Unit, whose objective is to improve teaching in order to provide the highest quality training to future health professionals at all stages of their continuous educational process.
Faculty of Life and Nature Sciences
The teaching staff of the School of Life and Nature Sciences is made up of full-time lecturers and part-time associate lecturers.
The profile of the full-time lecturers is essentially that of accredited PhDs, dedicated to research and university teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate level in their area of specialisation. On the other hand, the associate lecturers, who are closely linked to professional activity, offer students the most direct contact with the professional reality they will encounter once they have completed their studies.

It seems that for the moment there are no activities.... But I'm sure there will be soon!
Research in
Life and Natural Sciences
The Shool dedicates part of its efforts to research tasks, as a fundamental complement to its teaching work. The main lines of research are based on the study of human behaviour, with the intention of explaining behaviour from the scientific rigour of the various disciplines that make up our Faculty. Specifically, sports behaviour and performance are analysed based on mathematical and statistical analyses, and our specialisation in the psychometric analysis of human behaviour is very powerful, as well as the evaluation of the efficacy of the psychologist's clinical practice.
We also study the neurobiological bases of behaviour, applying different behavioural analysis techniques in different animal models that exemplify current disorders and alterations in human clinical practice.
