Why Study Medical Physiology as part of a Combined Honours Degree?
This Medical Physiology programme provides an excellent opportunity to study the complex anatomy and detailed function of the human body in health and disease. Anatomy and Physiology are two of the core subjects of Medicine. Special importance is given to learning practical anatomy and relating this to physiological function. Applied Physiology is emphasized throughout the programme by the teaching of techniques and instrumentation used to investigate and assess health and disease e.g. ECG, fitness tests, chest X-rays. All students will learn life support and obtain a first aid certificate. The programme is ideal for a research career in the biological/medical fields or for studying higher degrees (MSc, PhD). The programme should be extremely attractive to those intending to pursue a career in Medicine, Physiotherapy, Dentistry and other professions allied to Medicine in the NHS or using their skills in teaching, the Pharmaceutical and other industries.
