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, you’ll develop strong theoretical and technical skills in the assessment of human health and disea
Physiology is the study of how we work. With us, you’ll study human function from the molecular and cellular level through organs to the whole body. It’s a subject that underpins medical science and as part of this degree, you’ll consider aspects of pathophysiology, exploring what happens when things go wrong and some of the strategies that are used to treat a host of medical conditions.
The Department of Life Sciences has a strong research ethos in many aspects of human physiology and you will benefit from this as you enter your final year and undertake your research project, working alongside researchers who are publishing their work in leading medical journals.
Study human physiology with us and you'll emerge as an independent thinker who can apply critical analysis and problem-solving skills to real-world problems. Your knowledge and skills will prepare you for employment in a range of settings, including health, biological and pharmaceutical industries, as well as a range of postgraduate study options, such as masters and PhD programmes.

Human physiology graduates may go on to a range of subject-specific careers in the healthcare, biological, pharmaceutical, public health and other associated industries. Recent graduates have secured employment in laboratory/research work, the pharmaceutical industry, education and medical communications.
Your degree will also give you a wide variety of transferable skills that can be applied to non-subject specific career pathways, such as in local government, environment agencies, teaching, management and the civil service. For those who wish to continue their studies, we offer a range of postgraduate programmes across the breadth of healthcare sciences, medicine and allied health professions.
