Honours degree

ID:

The Bachelor of Science Honours in Medical Physiology is aimed at introducing BSc graduates who majored in Physiology, and persons with Medical and Dental qualifications to the Science of Physiology and Research Methodology. The Course is thus a prelude (and in most cases a prerequisite) to registration for a higher degree (MSc or PhD) in Medical Physiology or a related discipline.
