BSc (Hons) Human Physiology with Placement Year

Watch our video about how, alongside his human physiology degree, Isaac was able to gain first-hand experience using cutting-edge technology on a research project with academics and PhD students.

With our human physiology degree, youll develop strong theoretical and technical skills in the assessment of human health and disease. Youll look in-depth at the human body from the cellular level to the whole person through specialisms like cell and molecular sciences, neuroscience, exercise and nutritional physiology, and cardiovascular science.

In our specialist laboratories, youll learn how to monitor and scientifically investigate the physiological systems in our bodies and how they react when stressed from illness or the environment.

Group study brings vital teamwork and communication skills, while in your final year youll get the chance to focus and develop your academic interests through an independent piece of research, working with one of our expert researchers.

The degree will also launch you on a professional path and by the time youve finished, you will have partly met the academic and experience requirement for membership of the Royal Society of Biology and Chartered Biologist (CBiol) status.
