Bsc (honours)/msci Human Biology in Sheffield Hallam University

• Develop an advanced understanding of human anatomy, physiology, cell biology, reproduction, genetics and biochemistry.
• Develop your confidence and ability to work at the cutting edge of human biology.
• Apply your knowledge to real-world experience with year-long or summer placement opportunities available.
• Transfer onto an MSci route for a specialist year of research intensive study working alongside our internationally recognised researchers

You will learn how genomics, biotechnology, stem cells and lifestyle interventions impact on the human body. The knowledge you will gain will provide an understanding of the latest advances in this field.

Work placements

Between your second and third year you will have the opportunity to apply for a placement where you can apply what you have learnt at university to a working situation. This is a fantastic opportunity to gain the experience and professional skills that could give you an advantage at the start of your career.

We offer you the opportunity to apply for placements in a wide range of institutions – including pharmaceutical industries, medical research laboratories, the NHS, schools and colleges. Or if you are unable to commit to a year, it is also possible to work for a shorter period of time on a summer placement (which can still contribute towards your degree). If you are undertaking  your work placement in another European country, there may be Erasmus funding available to support costs for overseas study.

Completion of a year-long work placement will allow you to achieve an Advanced Professional Diploma alongside your degree.

Research projects

You will develop problem solving and practical skills by undertaking mini projects in the first and second year of your course. During your final year you will combine the skills and knowledge you have gained to conduct a specialist research project working alongside an expert in your chosen subject area.

Future careers

This course prepares you for a wide range of careers including:

• healthcare industries
• research laboratories
• pharmaceutical industries
• scientific sales and marketing
• scientific communication/journalism

Many of our graduates go on to postgraduate study – including academic research degrees (PhD), masters degrees (MSc) in healthcare settings, (such as physician’s associate, dietetics, radiotherapy and nutrition), while others transfer into postgraduate-entry medicine and dentistry.
