Human Biology explores the interconnected fields of human anatomy and physiology, examining both healthy bodily functions and disease processes. This discipline encompasses diverse subjects, from genetics, microbiology, and immunology to fundamental areas like anatomy, microanatomy, and physiology. Unlike the more specialized Biomedical Sciences degree, this program offers increased flexibility in module selection. Students can focus on specialized topics such as Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Cardiovascular Pathology and Treatment, Topographical Anatomy, Medical Exercise and Sports Science, Embryology and Developmental Biology, Public Health Science, and Neuroscience. The curriculum incorporates cutting-edge teaching methods, including ultrasound imaging for cardiovascular studies and hands-on cadaver dissection experiences.
