Physiology

The study of physiology prepares you for a wide range of careers. You can apply your knowledge of physiology directly, choosing a career in the biomedical sphere. Physiology graduates can also use the general skills and knowledge they have acquired to pursue a career in a variety of workplaces.

Just some of the careers in which Physiology graduates are currently employed are shown below with relevant links where available.

Physiology is the major that pulls everything together – cells, tissues and organs and how they function together in living organisms. Studying physiology has taught me how the human body works in both health and disease, driven by the emphasis of coordinated learning in small sized tutorial and laboratory classes.

The most exciting part of a physiology major is that you are the subject of each experiment. In this way, you are able to learn how your own body functions and how it compares to that of your peers.

Career opportunities

A Physiology major can lead to careers in the biomedical industry and in research laboratories. There is growing demand for Physiology graduates to investigate the action of genes in the body.
Physiology graduates are well prepared for a range of professional careers requiring postgraduate study, such as Medicine, Pharmacy and Clinical Audiology.

Opportunities exist for employment as scientists in commercial organisations, or in sales associated with these types of organisations and in public science education.
If you have combined your major with qualifications in the area of sport science or exercise and health, you could also find a career in health promotion and fitness.
