    Physiological Sciences MSci Honours

    About

    Course overview

    Our Physiological Sciences MSci Honours focuses on understanding the molecular and cellular processes regulating the integrated homeostasis of organ systems of the human body (physiology). You'll gain an understanding of how these systems can respond to various challenges such as development and maturation, exercise, and pregnancy. You'll identify what goes wrong in severe pathophysiological circumstances such as heart and lung disease, ageing, congenital disease, and neurodegeneration.

    By critically examining information from scientific and clinical research studies you will explore how this information can be used to improve disease detection and therapies.

    You will gain a deep and integrated understanding of many aspects of human physiology and pathophysiology, including:

    • the molecular basis of cell signal transduction
    • neuroscience
    • cardiovascular and respiratory physiology
    • renal physiology
    • gastrointestinal physiology
    • human anatomy for physiologists
    • research techniques for physiology and biomedical research

    We are a National Centre of Excellence in biomedical research and our world-leading and expert staff will lead the teaching on your degree. This ensures you will graduate with a cutting-edge knowledge of physiology.

    By critically examining information from scientific and clinical research studies you will explore how this information can be used to improve disease detection and therapies. You will develop practical skills in laboratory and clinical techniques used in physiological measurements.

    You will gain a deep and integrated understanding of many aspects of human physiology and pathophysiology, including:

    • the molecular basis of cellular transport
    • the molecular basis of cell signal transduction
    • neurophysiology
    • cardiovascular and respiratory physiology
    • renal physiology
    • gastrointestinal physiology
    • human anatomy for physiologists

    BSc or MSci

    We offer some of our degrees at two levels:

    • three-year Bachelor of Science (BSc)
    • four-year Master in Science (MSci)

    This MSci degrees include an additional year of advanced study at master’s level, where you will gain additional research and practical experience to increase your employability and have the opportunity to work alongside our world-leading experts.
