PHYSIOLOGY FACULTY OF LIFE SCIENCES Physiology
The School of Physiology, Pharmacology and Neuroscience houses research groups in cardiovascular physiology, neuroscience and cell biology that are recognised worldwide.
Why study Physiology at Bristol? Physiology is the study of body function: how cell tissue and organ function are integrated in the whole individual. Physiology is an experimental, scientific discipline of general educational value and is of fundamental importance in medicine and health-related sciences.
In years one and two of our Physiological Science degrees, you will have the opportunity to study other subjects alongside physiology, including non-science subjects. Popular choices include biochemistry, human anatomy, pharmacology, psychology or a modern language. Practicals are run in well-equipped modern laboratories and incorporate an innovative online learning environment eBiolabs, and state-of-the-art human patient simulators. Assessment in years one and two is through a combination of coursework, online tests and exams.

BSc Physiological Science A-levels AAB (ABC†
) IB 34 (31† )
This degree builds on core units and progresses to the final year, when you will study topics that are at the forefront of current research in physiology. You can also take a variety of optional units.
Year one introduces the functions of the major body systems in humans and how drugs can affect these systems. Second-year units cover neurophysiology, cellular physiology and topics such as exercise, stress and ageing. Practical teaching is enhanced by our online dynamic lab manual eBiolabs and human patient simulators.
Third-year seminar courses are taught by research-active staff at the cutting edge of current research. Topics include the cardiovascular system, brain and behaviour, and the future of molecular medicine. You also complete a practical project, which you can choose from a wide range of topics.
A fully integrated programme of activities is designed to develop your transferable personal and professional skills, such as computer, verbal, written and presentation skills.
MSci Physiological Science with Study in Industry A-levels AAB (ABC†
) IB 34 (31† )
This four-year degree is similar to BSc Physiological Science but also provides you with the opportunity to gain valuable insight into how physiology relates to commercial or governmental research. Placements may be in a biotech, food, defence, pharmaceutical or sports science company or a research institute, and are available by applying directly to providers in a process facilitated by the University. Entry to the MSci degree is by application after the first year of the BSc course.
