Overview

Bachelor of Science (BSc) majoring in Physiology

What can you study in Physiology at the University of Auckland?

You can study Physiology as a Bachelor of Science (BSc) major.

Physiology is the study of how living organisms function, from the cellular to the whole-body level. 

If we understand how organisms work we can understand what goes wrong with the disease, and develop a scientific basis for its treatment. 

Physiology is highly quantitative and closely linked with biochemistry, molecular biology, mathematical modeling, pharmacology, zoology, and neuroscience.

As a Physiology student, you’ll take Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Medical Science, and Physics courses to give you a solid quantitative grounding and encourage critical thinking, science innovation, and translation. 

As part of your Physiology major, you’ll complete a capstone course, PHYSIOL 399, where you’ll demonstrate your knowledge and skills through the design of a scientific research project

You’ll explore ethics, the role of science and scientists in society, science communication, and commitment to Māori and Pacific health advancement.
