生理学是对身体如何运作的研究。与其他任何生物科学相比，它涉及的最基本方面是对生物过程的理解，以解释整个器官或整个身体的功能。正是这一综合方面使生理学成为生物学和医学科学的中心。该学位为您提供了在工业，商业或研究环境中工作一年的机会，并在五年后以MSci（本科硕士学位）而不是BSc的身份毕业。
Physiology is one of the key disciplines underpinning our knowledge of medicine, dentistry and veterinary science.Physiology is the study of how the body works. More than any other of the biological sciences, it involves using an understanding of biological process at the most basic level to explain how a whole organ or an entire body functions. It is this integrated aspect that puts Physiology at the centre of the biological and medical sciences.Physiological studies of normal biological function provide the basis for understanding the abnormal function observed in human and animal disease and for developing new therapeutic treatments. The scope of physiology ranges from investigation of molecular actions in single cells to studying the way our body systems control our ability to think, eat, sleep and perform exercise. To achieve this, Physiologists must also use the related disciplines of anatomy, biochemistry, pharmacology, genetics and immunology.
