Programme overview
Human Biosciences at Exeter is taught jointly by Biosciences and Sport and Health Sciences. The programme represents an innovative, collaborative teaching response to a broadening demand for graduates with skills in fields of study relating to biological and sport science. It allows you to study scientific aspects of health, physical activity and biotechnology and recognises the importance that exercise can play in the prevention and treatment of disease. You will receive a thorough grounding in the study of human and molecular biology together with the various sub-disciplines of exercise and sport sciences, including biomechanics, kinesiology, human and applied physiology, molecular biology, genetics and medical microbiology.

My first year studying Human Biosciences was an amazing experience. The course combines a great balance between Biosciences and Sport and Health sciences, which was ideal for me as I wanted to study both areas and could not find a similar opportunity at other universities. The Human Biosciences programme provides a broad study of its two constituents but also allows more detailed involvement in specific areas of interest. There is a lot of practical work in both components; this is perfect for someone who likes a ‘hands on’ approach to their studies. The course allows for a large range of module selections in the second and third years, which was vital as it allows me to keep many options available. I have met lots of new people, which is another benefit of being involved in two schools and has made my time at Exeter so far one of great enjoyment.
