Master of Science (Physiology)

Physiology provides the basis of modern medicine, connecting science and health. You can also learn how animals and their bodies function and interact with their environment

Depending on your interests, postgraduate studies in physiology can be combined with other disciplines like human nutrition, exercise science, animal science, zoology, biochemistry or molecular biology for a multidisciplinary approach.

Why postgraduate study?
Postgraduate study is a hugely rewarding and empowering experience. Postgraduate study develops and extends your knowledge and expertise in your chosen field of research, as well as developing your skills for planning, critical thinking, analysis and communication.
