This accredited Physiological Sciences degree will equip you with the in-depth understanding of human physiology you need to make a difference in your life sciences career and related fields.

Course overview

Our Physiological Sciences degree focuses on the study of the organ systems of the human body and how they control and maintain body function in both normal and pathophysiological states. You'll develop a thorough understanding of how the human body functions in health and disease, from individual molecules and cells, up to the whole organism.

We are a National Centre of Excellence in biomedical research and you will be taught by our world-leading and expert staff, so you will graduate with a cutting-edge knowledge of the industry.

You'll gain a broad and integrated understanding of human body function through our focus on the study of the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain and gastrointestinal tract.

You will cover critical topics in human biomedical and biomolecular biology such as:

• neuroscience
• cardiovascular physiology
• renal physiology
• respiratory physiology
• gastrointestinal physiology
• human anatomy

You're equipped with the knowledge you need for a rewarding career in life sciences in a range of sectors.

Professional accreditation

This degree has been accredited by the Royal Society of Biology (RSB).

Accreditation by the RSB recognises academic excellence in the biosciences that educates the research and development leaders and innovators of the future.

Teaching methods

You'll learn through a combination of lectures, practical laboratory classes and small group seminars.

You also have the chance to attend optional research talks, aimed especially at first-year students, as part of our biomedicine+ programme.

Your future

Our physiological sciences graduates are in high demand when they complete their degrees, with 100% of our pharmacology graduates going into work or further study within six months of graduating.

There is a great demand for graduates in Physiological Sciences in the health services and in industry, particularly leading of working in research teams. Many graduates choose this path.

A large proportion of our graduates also choose to take a further degree, either a medical, dental, master's PhD or teaching qualification, before embarking on permanent employment.
