This accredited Physiological Sciences program provides comprehensive knowledge of human physiological regulation and its importance in advancing disease diagnosis and treatment.
Our Physiological Sciences curriculum emphasizes the molecular and cellular mechanisms that govern the integrated homeostasis of the human body's organ systems (physiology).
You'll examine how these systems adapt to various challenges including growth and development, physical activity, and pregnancy. You'll also investigate dysfunction in critical pathophysiological conditions such as cardiovascular and pulmonary disorders, aging, genetic diseases, and neurological degeneration.
Through critical analysis of scientific and clinical research data, you'll discover how this knowledge enhances disease detection and therapeutic approaches.
You'll develop a thorough, interconnected understanding of key areas in human physiology and pathophysiology, including:
cellular signaling pathways, neuroscience, cardiovascular and respiratory systems, kidney function
digestive system physiology, anatomical principles for physiologists, physiological research methods and biomedical investigation techniques
As a National Centre of Excellence in biomedical research, we connect students with world-leading researchers and specialists to build profound life sciences expertise that supports diverse career paths.
