Descripción del programa

Human Biology is the integrated study of human anatomy and physiology, including the study of the body in health and disease. It covers a wide range of topics, ranging from genetics, microbiology, and immunology to the core disciplines of anatomy, microanatomy, and physiology.

The degree is designed to allow a greater degree of flexibility in the choice of modules, in comparison to the closely related degree in Biomedical Sciences.

Specialist subject areas which can be studied in detail include Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Cardiovascular Pathology and Treatment, Topographical Anatomy, Exercise and Sports Science in Medicine, Embryology and Developmental Biology, Public Health Science, and Neuroscience. Within these subject areas, we provide a wide and innovative range of learning experiences, such as the use of ultrasound imaging in cardiovascular physiology and exposure to cadaveric dissection (specimens permitting).

Human Biology Degree Highlights

The School has invested in a new cadaver dissection lab which allows students the opportunity to gain valuable experience and understanding of human anatomy (specimens permitting).

Global Opportunities

The School has links with two universities in the USA - the University of Nevada in Reno and the University of Vermont, where several students have the opportunity to complete a one-year work placement program.

World Class Facilities

Our Centre's teaching facilities have benefited from the investment of over £2 million in recent years. This includes a fully equipped modern anatomy teaching unit with dissection facilities, as well as state-of-the-art physiology teaching and laboratory facilities, offering undergraduate-level cardiopulmonary exercise testing and ultrasound.

Internationally Renowned Experts

Our academic staff combines enthusiastic teaching with world-class research in the Biomedical Sciences, including cardiovascular disease, eye disease, diabetes, respiratory disease, and public health. We also have over 60 principal investigators specializing in Cancer Research and Cell Biology, Population Sciences research, and translational technologies who contribute to teaching and third-year research projects.

Student Experience

The School continues to score highly in the National Student Survey for student experience. Up to 12 prizes are available as an added incentive to our students from 1st to 3rd year, awarded for top performances in individual modules and overall degree performances. This includes prizes awarded by professional bodies (Physiological Society, Pharmacological Society).
