Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Health Sciences

This Teesside University course provides a broad understanding of the physiology of the body’s major systems as well as human health and disease. Students study the cause, diagnosis and treatment of human disease from a multidisciplinary and evidence-based perspective, which will help them with a career in a variety of healthcare and life science settings.

By studying three core discipline-based themes, human anatomy and physiology, human biology and disease, and healthcare systems and technologies, students explore how humans change over the lifespan, adapt to external stressors, and how lifestyle can have an impact on health. Students research and identify potential therapeutic and clinical strategies to reduce the effect of these risk factors on disease states.

Alongside this, they will develop skills for employability including good laboratory practice, control of substances hazardous to health (COSHH) assessments, health and safety policies, Human Tissues Act, quality assurance and patient care.
