Since the founding of the University of Hong Kong in 1911, the Department of Physiology has excelled in both teaching and research. Our Department, together with other pre-clinical and clinical departments, is located at the medical campus in Sassoon Road. The medical site is well supported by the Medical Library, Animal Unit, Computer Laboratory, Restaurants, Student Amenities Centre and Residential Halls. Physiology teachers contribute to integrated undergraduate teaching for the Bachelor of Traditional Chinese Medicine and for the Bachelor of Cognitive Science. Finally, students pursuing a medical or dental degree are offered the opportunity to study phsiology in more detail by pursuing an intercalated degree, the Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Sciences.
Teaching is conducted in the form of lectures, laboratory sessions and tutorials.
