Understand how the human body works and how illnesses are diagnosed and treated. Learn more about how cells, tissues, organs, and body systems function together and their impact on each other in both health and disease. You’ll learn how the human body works by studying anatomy and physiology and how we prevent, diagnose and treat diseases. You’ll gain practical skills through our award-winning OpenSTEM Labs and, in some cases, by immersing yourself in extended reality.
There are no formal qualifications required to study this degree. Computer and internet access required.
