Why study biomedical and physiological sciences?
Understanding normal and abnormal function brings science to a human context and is critical for the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Our courses range from the study of the body’s systems in health and disease in our human physiology course through to exploring the characteristics and diagnosis of disease in biomedical science.
With us, you could be studying the molecular mechanisms of how and why blood cell dysfunction causes disease, considering how diet impacts our health and wellbeing or identifying bio markers that allow the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease. Watch our video to hear from Human Physiology student Isaac, who had the opportunity to work with Senior Lecturers on a paid summer research project investigating mobility in young stroke survivors.

Study in the Dalton building
We've invested £115m into cutting-edge facilities and advanced technology. With a new state-of-the-art Superlab and interactive study spaces, the Dalton building will enhance your learning and prepare you for your future career.Alongside my degree, I had the opportunity to take part in a paid summer research project. I used cutting-edge technology, such as three-dimensional motion analysis, and gained first-hand experience working with young stroke survivors.
