With our human physiology degree, you’ll develop strong theoretical and technical skills in the assessment of human health and disease. You’ll 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, you’ll 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 you’ll 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 you’ve finished, you will have partly met the academic and experience requirement for membership of the Royal Society of Biology and Chartered Biologist (CBiol) status. **FEATURES AND BENEFITS**- This degree is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology as meeting in part the academic and experience requirement for membership and Chartered Biologist (CBiol) status. - Provides up-to-date knowledge and skills in a number of areas of human physiology, with particular emphasis on neuroscience, cardiovascular science and exercise physiology. - Our high-specification teaching and research laboratories include a blood biochemistry laboratory, a new microscopy suite and exercise performance laboratories. You’ll have access to specialist equipment for research in cardiorespiratory physiology, genetics and cell biology, nutrition, orthopaedics and exercise science. - We are investing £115m to transform the way we teach and you learn in the Faculty of Science and Engineering. Our new Dalton building will enhance collaboration between students, staff and industry and provide new and improved teaching spaces, including a 200-student capacity Superlab. - You will be taught by expert staff who research all aspects of human health and function, with expertise in areas of cardiovascular sciences, musculoskeletal health and neuroscience. - Get involved with research projects led by our experts as part of our Rise Research Internship programmes. - 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.
