The BSc (Hons) Clinical Physiology degrees are four-year programmes with integrated practice placement learning intended to be the main route for the training of Clinical Physiologists / Healthcare Science Practitioners. Our awards are focused on the training of Healthcare Science Practitioners for the physiological science disciplines (Cardiovascular Physiology and Sleep Physiology). Graduates in these disciplines will work in a range of healthcare settings to deliver quality assured tests, diagnostic investigations and interventions for patients/clients. Students benefit from:
- Multi-disciplinary programmes integrating traditional and clinically-focused subject areas in cardiac and sleep physiology, delivered by specialist academic and clinical healthcare associates and informed by patients, carers and lay associates.
- Flexibility for students to study specialist areas of clinical physiology, cardiac and sleep physiology, as well as maintaining academic breadth in these disciplines.
- A coherent, progressive curriculum underpinned by experiential and workplace learning, ensuring competence in core knowledge, personal and practical skills designed to enhance the students’ academic performance and professional development.
- Enthusiastic, accessible and committed academic staff that offer student support via personal tutoring throughout their programme of study.
- Teaching and Learning informed by nationally and internationally recognised research, scholarship and professional expertise in biomedicine, clinical physiology and pedagogy.
- A learning environment enriched by the presence of a “critical mass” of healthcare education in the form of the Faculty of Health: Medicine, dentistry and Human Sciences, well-equipped modern laboratories and facilities, plus the legacy of the Centres of Excellence in Teaching and Learning.
