Biological sciences have been taught at Manchester as far back as the foundation of Owens College in 1851. At UMIST, biological teaching and research began in 1959, with the creation of a biochemistry department.<ref>Wilson, D (2008) ''Reconfiguring Biological Sciences in the Late Twentieth Century: a Study of the University of Manchester.'' Manchester University, pp. 7–16</ref> The present school, though unitary for teaching, is divided into a number of sections for research purposes.

The medical college was established in 1874 and is one of the largest in the country,<ref>{{cite web |title=School of Medicine |publisher=University of Manchester |url=http://www.medicine.manchester.ac.uk/aboutus/ |access-date=3 April 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080410161851/http://www.medicine.manchester.ac.uk/aboutus/ |archive-date=10 April 2008 |url-status=dead}}</ref> with more than 400 medical students trained in each clinical year and more than 350 students in the pre-clinical/phase 1 years. The university is a founding partner of the [[Manchester Academic Health Science Centre]], established to focus high-end healthcare research in Greater Manchester.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mahsc.ac.uk/ |title=Manchester Academic Health Science Centre |access-date=8 January 2009 |archive-date=27 February 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090227162108/http://www.mahsc.ac.uk/ |url-status=live }}</ref> In November 2018, Expertscape recognized it as one of the top ten institutions worldwide in [[COPD]] research and treatment.<ref name="rank_pulmonary_disease,_chronic_obstructive">{{cite web |url=http://www.expertscape.com/the-leaders/copd |title=Expertscape: Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive, November 2018 |publisher=expertscape.com |date=November 2018 |access-date=28 November 2018}}</ref>

In 1883, a department of pharmacy was established at the university and, in 1904, Manchester became the first British university to offer an honours degree in the subject. The School of Pharmacy<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pharmacy.manchester.ac.uk/ |title=School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences (University of Manchester) |publisher=University of Manchester |access-date=26 December 2010 |archive-date=6 December 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101206172741/http://www.pharmacy.manchester.ac.uk/ |url-status=live }}</ref> benefits from links with Manchester Royal Infirmary and UHSM/ Wythenshawe and Salford Royal (formally known as Hope) hospitals providing its undergraduate students with hospital experience.<ref>{{cite web |title=School of Pharmacy |publisher=University of Manchester |url=http://www.pharmacy.manchester.ac.uk/aboutus/history/ |access-date=4 April 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070702050225/http://www.pharmacy.manchester.ac.uk/aboutus/history/ |archive-date=2 July 2007}}</ref>

The School of Psychological Sciences was one of the five schools which make up the Faculty of Medical and Human Sciences. The [[Victoria University of Manchester]] was the first university in Britain to appoint a full-time Professor of Psychology in 1919. In 2004, when the University of Manchester was formed, the school brought together the Human Communication and Deafness Group (HCD) in the Department of Psychology and the Division of Clinical Psychology.  The school was divided into three divisions: Psychology, Clinical Psychology, Audiology & Deafness. [[Tom Hatherley Pear|T. H. Pear]] was Professor of Psychology from 1919 to 1951.<ref>{{Cite book|title = Portrait of a University|last = Charlton|first = H.
