Human Physiology is the scientific study of biological function, from understanding the organs of the body down to the molecular mechanisms within cells. This area of science it vitally important in helping understand how our body works in health and disease and will give you an ideal opportunity to train in a medically-orientated field of world-wide importance.
You’ll study anatomy, how each system of the body works, from the cardiovascular and respiratory system to the nervous system. You’ll develop your specialist knowledge, while building on foundations of human and molecular biology, with areas such as cardiorespiratory physiology, the nervous system and human endocrinology.
You will develop employable skills relevant to physiological and medical industries that help tackle global challenges, such as sedentary lifestyle impacts on health, healthy ageing, and understanding and treating non-communicable human diseases.
Our optional Integrated Masters (MBiol) offers you an additional year of specialist training, to study advanced research topics and undertake your own extended research project.
**Course highlights**
- Develop your skills in taking physiological measurements from human subjects in practical classes, including the use of our environmental chamber.
- Carry out an independent research project under the supervision of a field-leading academic, further developing the transferable skills that will set you apart in the graduate job market.
- Develop key practical, analytical and communication skills to enable you to analyse and present scientific data.

Standard Qualification Requirements
BSc: AAB
MBiol: AAA
Including biology or chemistry, plus another science or science-related subject. Critical thinking and general studies excluded.
We accept the following:
• Science subjects: biology, human biology, chemistry, mathematics, PE and physics.
• Science-related subjects: geography, psychology, use of maths and statistics.
Applicants taking a Science A-level (in England) will be required to achieve a pass in the practical element in addition to the standard A-level grade requirement.
When an applicant is taking the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) or the Cambridge International Project Qualification (Cambridge IPQ) this can be considered alongside A-levels and may attract an alternative offer in addition to the standard offer. If you are taking A-levels, this would be ABB at A-level and grade A in the EPQ (BSc applicants) or AAB and grade A in the EPQ (MBiol applicants).
BSc:
Advanced Higher: 5 x Highers AABBB, with AA-AB in 2 Advanced Highers including Biology and another science or science-related subject. General Studies and Critical Thinking excluded.
MBiol:
Advanced Higher: 5 x Highers AABBB, with AA in 2 Advanced Highers including Biology and another science or science-related subject. General Studies and Critical Thinking excluded.
We accept the following:
• Science subjects: biology, human biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics.
• Science-related subjects: geography, PE, psychology, use of maths and statistics.
Scottish Higher: Scottish Highers not accepted on their own.
Applicants offering an EPQ or IPQ qualification will receive a standard offer, as shown above, plus an alternative offer. The alternative offer would be ABB plus grade A in EPQ / IPQ. Subject specific requirements are still valid.
BSc:
34 (with 17 at higher level) including 6 in higher level biology or chemistry and another science or science-related subject at higher level.
MBiol:
35 (with 18 at higher level) including 6 in higher level biology or chemistry, and another science or science-related subject at higher level.
BSc:
H2,H2,H2,H2,H3,H3 including H2 in biology or chemistry, and another science or science-related subject at higher level.
MBiol:
H2,H2,H2,H2,H2,H2 including biology or chemistry, and another science or science-related at higher level.
BSc:
D3/D3/M1 including D3 in biology or chemistry plus another science or science-related subject. Global Perspectives excluded.
MBiol:
D3/D3/D3 including D3 in biology or chemistry plus another science or science-related subject. Global Perspectives excluded.
When an applicant is taking Global Perspectives this can be considered alongside Pre-U subjects and may attract an alternative offer in addition to the standard offer. This would be D3/M1/M1 and grade D3 in Global Perspectives (BSc applicants) or D3/D3/M1 and grade D3 in Global Perspectives (MBiol applicants).
