The B120 Physiology undergraduate degree program at the University of Aberdeen focuses on understanding how the body and different systems function, and how these systems interact to maintain health. This program helps students learn how the body copes in disease, using an evidence-based and research-led teaching framework.Course Content: The Physiology program curriculum includes a broad range of subjects, from foundational understanding in areas including biochemistry, molecular biology, and anatomy, to the body's response to stress and pathology, and integrative physiology. Teaching involves lectures, practical classes, and problem-based learning groups with the opportunity for students to engage in working on real-life problems. In the final year, students undertake a significant research project, working in the laboratories of leading researchers.Key Modules: Some of the main subjects studied under this course include Principles of Physiology, Molecules to Cells, Physiology of the Central Nervous System, Nerve and Muscle, Cellular Basis of Immunity, and Endocrine Physiology.Accreditations: The Physiology degree is accredited by the physiology society (Physoc). This accreditation helps open doors to research careers and further study, including medicine and teaching. Future Careers: This programme can lead to a range of careers in health and disease research, drug development, teaching, pharmaceutical industry, and fitness training. Some graduates even progress to further study in courses such as medicine, physiotherapy, dietetics, sports science, or health sciences.For more information on this course, please visit the official course page.
