Human Physiology Bsc (hons) in University of Liverpool

Human Physiology is the science of how the body works and is one of the fundamental disciplines of biology and modern medicine.

Physiology investigates the function and interaction of molecules, cells, tissues, organs and systems, and how these parts make up the whole body. Human Physiology at Liverpool has a focus on cellular and molecular mechanisms of disease, the effect on the function of body systems and aspects of translational medicine. As you work through your degree here at Liverpool your knowledge of physiology will expand through learning from research experts in their fields.

There is an emphasis on integrating molecular, cellular, systems and whole body function, which distinguishes human physiology from other life science degrees. A degree in Human Physiology will give you a solid foundation for postgraduate medicine or dentistry, research or further study and many other career pathways.

Some of the major research areas covered within Human Physiology at the University of Liverpool are neurodegenerative aging and neuronal signalling, oncology, regenerative medicine and stem cell physiology not forgetting signalling in uterine smooth muscle (in the Centre for Better Births at Liverpool Women's Hospital) and respiratory and auto immune diseases in children (Alder Hey Children’s Hospital).

Programme in detail

Our excellence in research provides the basis for a BSc Honours programme that aims to provide a supportive learning environment. Students are enabled to develop academic competence at the highest level attainable, and are introduced to the forefront of current knowledge in human physiology.

We are keen to recruit students with a strong interest in biology/human biology, whether they intend to follow a career in the NHS including medicine, dentistry, as a research physiologist or simply wish to take their fascination for biology/ human biology further.

Our practical modules cover experimental and human physiology, and our lecture modules include neuroscience and neuromuscular physiology, regulatory, cardiovascular and respiratory physiology, perspectives in physiology research and cell signalling in health and disease. The schedule for the final year human physiology projects allows our students to immerse themselves in their own specialised research for 10 weeks in an active clinical or research laboratory environment. We equip our graduates with a range of skills that prepares them for future employment in a wide range of careers both in and out of science.

You may wish to defer your graduation and take up the opportunity to continue your studies and follow our MBiolSci programme, so extending your degree by one year. In addition to this master’s opportunity there are also other postgraduate opportunities which include MSc, MRes or our prestigious Welcome Trust four-year PhD programme that has run here at the University of Liverpool for more than 25 years, which continues to provide one avenue for our human physiology graduates to embark on a research career.
