BSc (Hons) Physiology
Course Overview
Physiology is the integrated study of how living systems function, from molecular processes within cells to the coordinated actions of entire organ systems. This course provides a comprehensive foundation in normal bodily function, which is essential for medicine and biomedical research, by synthesizing knowledge from various disciplines to understand the whole organism. The program progresses from core scientific principles to advanced, research-focused exploration of human and animal function.
Key Program Highlights
- Integrated approach that connects molecular, cellular, and whole-body systems to understand how organisms work
- Strong foundation for careers in medicine, veterinary science, biomedical research, and related health professions
- Hands-on research experience through a final-year lab project supervised by academic staff
- In-depth study of major body systems including nervous, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems
- Exploration of pharmacology and immunology to understand drug actions and the body's defense mechanisms
