Biomedical sciences with a specialism in physiology is concerned with understanding how the human body functions in health and disease. Physiology examines the mechanisms by which organ systems, cells, and molecules maintain the conditions necessary for life, from the way the heart pumps blood and the lungs exchange gases to how the kidney regulates fluid balance and the nervous system coordinates responses to the environment. Understanding these processes at a detailed level is fundamental to medicine, pharmacology, clinical research, and the development of treatments for the full range of human diseases. At the University of Aberdeen, this four-year full-time programme offers a structured progression from the foundational sciences in the early years to specialised and research-focused content as the degree advances. A year abroad is built into the programme, giving you international s
