The University of Melbourne
Bachelor of Science (Physiology)
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationOur bodies work amazingly most of the time, but what happens when something goes wrong? In Physiology, you’ll discover how the body works, and how cells and organs function within the body as a whole. Understand how disturbances in the endocrine, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, developmental and neural control systems impact our health and devise studies to help us understand what we can do to stop them. Classes include interactive lectures, hands-on practicals, the chance to design and carry out your own experiments, and even use virtual reality to see inside our body!
