HUMAN BIOLOGY

Human Biology at Liverpool Hope University is an exciting, future‑focused degree that explores how the human body works, why diseases develop, and how biology shapes everyday life. You’ll study in small groups, learning essential topics like anatomy, physiology, genetics, cell biology, immunology and pharmacology, gaining a clear understanding of major health challenges such as cancer, diabetes, obesity, heart disease and gut dysbiosis. 

Teaching is hands-on from day one, you’ll learn from active researchers in the School of Health and Sport Sciences, gain experience with laboratory techniques, scientific investigation and data analysis. You’ll build real scientific confidence through practical lab skills, data analysis, and specialist techniques used across modern bioscience industries. 

The course also introduces cutting‑edge developments like gene technology and links biological science directly to real-world medical and research applications. You'll also discover how advances in gene technology are shaping the future of medicine and biomedical research. With Liverpool’s strong health, biotech and life‑science sector, you’ll be studying Human Biology in one of the UK’s most dynamic science cities, ideal for placements, networking and future employment. 

SPORT & EXERCISE SCIENCE
