Our Human Biology and Health degree has been developed to reflect the diverse expertise and research activity of staff within the Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences. The scheme provides you with the opportunity to study a range of biological disciplines including physiology, microbiology, immunology and genetics, coupling these disciplines with the study of human biomechanics and psychology. The curriculum allows you to develop a sound understanding of the main conditions that influence human health in the 21st century. Students on this course will be able to explore the specialist areas of Human and Health Biology which include: facilities for high-throughput DNA sequencing, proteomics, metabolomics and spectroscopic platforms; the application of psychology to understand the process of behaviour change and its relevance to delay the development of chronic conditions including heart disease, diabetes and cancer; our modern physiological, biomechanical and psychological equipment including: body scanning for bone health and body composition determination, cardiovascular, respiratory and metabolic analysers, high-performance treadmills, cycles and rowers, along with computer-based digital video and a force plate to allow sophisticated analysis of movement. You will be taught by passionate, engaged, friendly staff with expertise across the full range of Biological topics. Your academic studies will be bolstered by a wealth of laboratory and field classes which build real scientific skills essential for your future. Our teaching and E-learning facilities provide you with an outstanding learning experience integrating the classroom sessions and a vast repository of study resources. You will be assigned a personal tutor who can guide you through your time at Aberystwyth and help you to settle in when you first arrive. We have invested heavily and over a number of years in our research facilities, and project students may get the opportunity to work in the research units on Penglais, or in our dedicated research facility at Gogerddan just outside Aberystwyth. Employability is embedded in our teaching. For those who are interested in undertaking a work experience placement during your studies, our sister course Human and Health biology with integrated year in industry will be for you (C195). This four-year sister degree has the same teaching syllabus as this course C194, however, you will have one year to complete work experience placement. The embedded core employability skills in our teaching enable our students to have a smooth transition from campus to career. Human Biology and Health graduates will be equipped with the skills and knowledge to enter a wide range of careers which include: Bio-medicine, Health and allied professions. This degree is also a solid foundation for postgraduate research at Masters and PhD level.
