Overview

Physiology is an area of biology related to how the human body works. Physiologists are interested in how the cells and organs of the body operate and how their incredible array of processes co-operate to enable our bodies to function under normal and challenging circumstances.

Physiologists are, therefore, at the forefront of medical research and the search for a better understanding of disease processes. So join the Physiology (Hons) degree at At University College Dublin.

Careers

Physiology graduates go on to establish careers in areas such as:

Biomedical research in the university system or other government-run operations
Pharmaceutical industry-based research and development
Clinical trials
Pharmaceutical industry sales

Physiology graduates regularly gain places on graduate-entry Medicine and other allied healthcare degree courses.

UCD provides opportunities for graduate physiological research at the Masters or PhD level. Research into basic physiological mechanisms takes place but the research focus is on translational research, i.e. the research that enhances our understanding of human disease that leads to advances in the improvement of human health.
