What is Physiological Sciences?
Physiology students are biologists who study how the human body and mind work. They study the fundamental mechanisms of life in the context of the whole animal by relating molecular and cellular processes to the function of the whole body. This emphasis on integrating molecular, cellular and whole body function distinguishes Physiological Sciences from courses such as Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
Physiological Sciences at Oxford
The course is both challenging and exciting. It reflects the subject as it is now researched by emphasising its practical aspects. During their first year students take the preliminary course, which ensures that they have a sound basic understanding of all aspects of the subject. This course includes many lectures (on central nervous pharmacology, integrative physiology, immunology) held specifically for physiological science students. Other lectures are shared with the pre-clinical medical students and those studying Psychology, Philosophy and Physiology (PPP).
Careers
About 65% of our students move on to study for a further degree and about half of these study for a research degree in the biomedical field.
