Information For Prospective Students
What is Physiology?
Physiology is the study of living organisms. This stretches from the basic biochemical processes that drive the functions of individual cells right through to the workings of the body's systems and how they interact to produce a healthy living individual.

Physiology is also essential to understand how we survive and adapt to a vast array of different conditions and environments. Pregnancy, high altitude, deep sea diving, trekking across a desert, exercise or even making the transition from life in the womb to life outside all require major changes to our physiological state. Medicine requires an in depth understanding of physiology to understand the causes and effects of different disease processes.

If you are interested in studying for a BSc in Physiology you should apply via UCAS for Biomedical Sciences (B990), which offers the possibility of transferring to Physiology in Year 2.  More information is available here: BSc in Biomedical Sciences

Medical Students interested in the Intercalated BSc in Physiology should follow the directions here: Intercalated Degrees
