Biomedical and Physiological Sciences

Understanding normal and abnormal function brings science to a human context and is critical for the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Our courses range from the study of the body’s systems in health and disease in our human physiology course through to exploring the characteristics and diagnosis of disease in biomedical science.

With us, you could be studying the molecular mechanisms of how and why blood cell dysfunction causes disease, considering how diet impacts our health and wellbeing or identifying bio markers that allow the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease. Watch our video to hear from Human Physiology student Isaac,  who had the opportunity to work with Senior Lecturers on a paid summer research project investigating mobility in young stroke survivors.
