Course Overview

There are complex relationships between molecules, cells, and systems that require precise control to allow optimum function within living organisms. Alterations in these relationships can lead to disease and an understanding of such events can provide the foundation for the use of drugs to treat disease.

Physiology is the study of the functions and mechanisms within living systems from the subcellular level up to the whole animal. In disease, pathophysiological mechanisms interfere with the normal function of these systems. You will learn how drugs interact with cells and tissues to control the disease. This is a rapidly developing field with wide-ranging applications, particularly for medical science, where the study of the disease requires a good understanding of both the underlying physiology and the relevant pharmacology. Over the programme, in addition to subject-specific knowledge, you will gain important transferable skills that will make you an attractive prospect for future employers.
