BSc (Hons) Clinical Physiology (Cardiac Physiology)

The BSc (Hons) Clinical Physiology course offered by the University of Plymouth allows students to gain an in-depth understanding of modern healthcare practices and cutting-edge clinical technology. It deepens the understandings of diagnostics, and management underlying multiple diverse pathologies, including cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, and equips students with the tools to both diagnose and manage these issues.Course Content: The course focuses on anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, relevant clinical skills, and an understanding of clinical technology. The expansive curriculum covers everything from cellular to whole body systems, and various aspects from the health variation to illness. It also includes a number of work placements in different healthcare settings for practical experience.Key Modules: The key modules in this course include Anatomy and Physiology, Clinical Technology, Introduction to Clinical Physiology, Cardio-Respiratory Theory, and Clinical Pathophysiology. Students will also complete a project in Clinical Physiology and undertake work-based learning modules to apply their skills.Accreditations: This course is accredited by the Registration Council for Clinical Physiologists (RCCP) and also recognised by the Association for Respiratory Technology and Physiology (ARTP) and the Society for Cardiological Science and Technology (SCST). Future Careers: This degree can lead to a career in clinical physiology where students may work in hospitals or health centres as healthcare scientists. They may also find opportunities in biomedical research, medical technology companies, or further study.For more information on this course, please visit the official course page.
