BSc (Hons) Human Biology

The Human Biology course at the University of West London is designed to equip students with a deep understanding of the structure and function of the human body, the science behind health and disease, and the ability to critically evaluate and solve biological problems. This undergraduate course incorporates a flexible approach, allowing students to focus on their areas of interest with a diverse range of topics including molecular biology, human health, and disease. This course attracts students interested in biosciences and health-related fields with the opportunity to access highly experienced educators and built-in work placement options. Course Content: The foundation year provides a variety of general science-related modules to strengthen basic knowledge. From the first year onward, the course becomes more specialised focusing on core human biology topics such as Cell Biology and Genetics, Biochemistry and Metabolism, and Human Anatomy and Physiology. In the second year, students explore topics such as Applied Clinical Skills, Scientific Research Skills, Human Genetics, and more. The final year culminates in a dissertation project and advanced modules including Human Disease and Immunology, Human Cognitive and Sensory Systems, and Developmental, Cellular and Molecular Biology. Key Modules: Some of the key modules include Cell Biology and Genetics, Human Anatomy and Physiology, Applied Clinical Skills, Scientific Research Skills, Human Genetics, Human Disease and Immunology, Human Cognitive and Sensory Systems, and Developmental, Cellular and Molecular Biology.Accreditations: The Human Biology course is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology (RSB). This accreditation certifies that the course meets the high standards set by the Society.Future Careers: Upon successful completion of the course, this degree provides you with a pathway towards becoming a biomedical scientist, geneticist, health analyst, laboratory technician, or going into research and teaching. The course also prepares students for further study in a variety of science and health-related postgraduate courses. For more information on this course, please visit the official course page.
