Human biologists address questions such as: What is the body made of? How does the body work? What factors affect our growth? Why do people age differently? How does the body adapt to cope with challenges such as exercise, undernutrition or environmental extremes? How does our evolutionary past affect our current biology?

Our Human Biology degree is taught by academics who are active researchers with renowned expertise covering human population biology, global health and human development, physical activity and public health, nutrition, human genetics, and the influence of diet, exercise and lifestyle on health.

You'll be able to tailor your studies to suit your interests and career goals through a variety of optional modules, and complete a final year project of your choosing.

You'll also have the option to undertake a year-long professional placement or study abroad as part of your degree, boosting your employability and allowing you to gain valuable real-world experience.
