About the course

Human biologists address questions such as: What is the body made of? How does the body work? What factors affect our growth? Why do some people age more successfully than others? How does the body adapt to cope with challenges such as exercise, undernutrition or environmental extremes? How does our evolutionary past affect our current biology? How do our genes, lifestyle and environment affect our risk of disease?

At Loughborough University, our BSc Human Biology degree is taught by staff who are all active researchers with renowned expertise that includes human population biology, global health and human development, physical activity and public health, nutrition, human genetics, and the influence of diet, exercise and lifestyle on health.

Our Human Biology degree is unique in its consideration of the human from molecular to population level and in its international perspective. It is also modular, allowing choice and increasing specialisation in each year of study.

Optional year-long professional placement opportunities are also available to help you develop essential skills and boost your employability, while international placements provide the opportunity to experience another country during your studies.

Career

Human Biology includes study of a broad range of topics, ranging from molecular level through to population and global health. This has enabled our graduates to have gone on to pursue a wide variety of careers in areas ranging from DNA analysis to epidemiology.

Areas of employment and/or further training include postgraduate medicine and allied subjects, such as clinical science or physiotherapy; health promotion; scientific and medical research in universities, research institutes and the private sector; diagnostic lab work; teaching or technical support in schools or colleges; coordinating clinical trials; or scientific or clinical information, marketing or sales.

Some of our graduates go on to more general graduate training schemes, for instance in finance or retail management, or progress on to postgraduate study.
