Human Biology & Physiology, BSc (Hons)

Human Biology & Physiology provides a comprehensive exploration of the human body, covering structure and function across the lifespan in health and disease, alongside the interplay of biology and lifestyle. Physiology examines living mechanisms from ionic and molecular cell functions to integrated whole-body behavior and environmental influences. The program's diverse curriculum integrates theoretical knowledge with hands-on labs, addressing bodily adaptations to challenges and disease, contemporary research methods, and real-world applications like healthcare and climate change—distinguishing it through its molecular-to-whole-body approach.At the University of Glasgow, leading researchers foster an engaging learning environment with active methods, interactive workshops, seminars, and multimedia-supported labs to deepen understanding and critical thinking. Graduates acquire versatile skills for careers in biomedical research, healthcare, laboratories, clinical trials, allied health, publishing, and more, with many pursuing medicine, teaching, or postgraduate studies in cardiovascular science, stratified medicine, and public health.
