Science (Physiology), Bachelor

The Bachelor of Science program cultivates comprehension, critical reasoning, and enhancement of the natural world through structured observation, experimentation, modelling, and computation. A superior science education at UWA provides students with highly sought-after skills valued by global employers, empowering them to contribute meaningfully to humanity's pressing challenges.

How does your body cope during intense exercise, blood loss and dehydration? How does your nervous system respond to the world around you? How does your body adapt to changing environments? The Physiology major provides answers to these questions and teaches you how the human body works, from the molecular and cellular levels to tissues and organs. The course is hands-on with a wide range of practical classes that demonstrate how scientific discovery is achieved and help you develop skills of critical thinking, analysis and even design and conduct your own research experiments. As a physiology graduate, you will ultimately have advanced knowledge of how the body functions, which is central to our ability to detect, prevent and treat disease.
