The Physiology - Bachelor of Biomedical Science at the University Of Western Australia is designed for students aiming to understand the intricate workings of the human body at molecular, cellular, and organ system levels. You will explore how physiological processes interact with the environment and how disruptions to these systems lead to disease. This program is ideal for those with a keen interest in human biology and a desire to contribute to the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. You will gain a deep appreciation for how physiologists combat disease mechanisms.
This undergraduate degree is studied full-time on campus over three years, providing a comprehensive education in human physiology. Your learning journey will involve in-depth study of cellular physiology, exercise physiology, and the integrated function of major organ systems, including cardiovascular, respiratory, and metabolic processes. You will engage with foundational scientific principles, potentially including introductory chemistry and mathematics, to build a robust understanding. Upon graduation, you will be well-prepared for further postgraduate study or careers in health sciences and medical research.
