Human Biology BSc
Queen's University BelfastBelfast, United Kingdom
Course overview
Human Biology is the integrated study of human anatomy and physiology, including the study of the body in health and disease. It covers a wide range of topics, ranging from genetics, microbiology and immunology to the core disciplines of anatomy, microanatomy and physiology. The degree is designed to allow a greater degree of flexibility in the choice of modules, in comparison to the closely related degree in Biomedical Sciences.
Specialist subject areas which can be studied in detail include Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Cardiovascular Pathology and Treatment, Topographical Anatomy, Exercise Science in Medicine, Embryology and Developmental Biology, Public Health Science and Neuroscience. Within these subject areas we provide a wide and innovative range of learning experiences, such as the use of ultrasound imaging in cardiovascular physiology and exposure to cadaveric prosection.
