BSc (Hons) Human Physiology
With our human physiology degree, you’ll develop both a strong theoretical and a practical understanding of physiology, with a particular focus on physical activity and health. You’ll look in-depth at the human body – from the cellular level to the whole person – through specialisms like molecular biology, neuromuscular physiology, cardiovascular science and human movement science.You’ll also get up to speed with the latest theories about how the body responds to movement, exercise and nutrition. In our high-tech laboratories, you’ll learn how to monitor and scientifically investigate the various physiological systems as bodies come under physical and environmental stress.The degree combines the department’s life and health sciences teaching strengths with our internationally regarded research expertise.**FEATURES AND BENEFITS:**- Provides up-to-date knowledge on areas of significant interest in human physiology, with particular emphasis on physical activity and health.- Our teaching and research laboratories includ blood biochemistry, biomechanics, and motor control and exercise performance laboratories.- You’ll have access to specialist equipment for research in genetics, cell biology, nutrition, orthopaedics and exercise science.- You’ll have access to regular online video support, which provides additional explanation and guidance on a range of topics, from coursework and exam paper guidance to lab demonstrations.
