This course builds on the content and structure of the 3-year BSc Human Biology degree, promoting the development of a broad and systematic understanding of biological principles, and the skills to place this understanding in the context of the human condition. Human biology is crucial to the continual development of the fields of medicine, sports science, nutrition, fertility and other areas. This programme has been accredited by the Royal Society of Biology following an independent and rigorous assessment. Advanced Degree accreditation highlights the degrees that have the potential to educate the life science leaders and innovators of the future. We are all fascinated by how our bodies work. Recent exciting advances such as the human genome sequence or the culturing of pluripotent stem cells have given human biology fascinating new perspectives and promise novel avenues to treat complex diseases. Over the next decade, we will see the impact of these developments in our daily lives, especially in areas such as medicine and health.
