Course summary

Discover the rewarding career of a clinical physiologist, working with patients to improve their quality of life through diagnostic tests, innovative therapies and specialised care.On this three-year degree, the only London course offering training in both cardiac and respiratory/sleep physiology, students will build a strong foundation in human anatomy, biochemistry, physiology, and pathophysiology. Over the course of the degree student will spend 50 weeks on placement gaining hands-on experience.In Year 1, students gain a foundational understanding of physiological sciences, with a focus on clinically relevant information.
