It involves an in-depth understanding of body function. Physiology examines life from the molecular and cellular levels, to the integrated functioning of organ systems. It understands the basic living organism to make sense of the more complex organisms. Studies begin at second year with an introduction to the way living cells and organisms function, mechanisms of growth, signalling between cells, cell division, and cellular movement. There is a strong emphasis on laboratory work, so you can explore the theories that you learn.
Studies then focus on the human body system.
You diversify your study to look at biophysics, neurophysiology, control mechanisms, the way systems integrate, neuroscience, and cell biology. Completing a Bachelor of Science with a major in Physiology enables you to choose a second major in the science stream. In this way you can support your studies in Physiology with other science units. Units in physiology can contribute to study of the specialist programmes Biomedical Science, Biophysical Science, Human Science and Neuroscience.
