The Histology Undergraduate Teaching Laboratory provides an interactive learning environment where students gain hands-on experience using microscopes to explore a wide range of human tissue sections. Through practical engagement, students develop a deeper understanding of cellular organisation and the structural complexity of the human body.

These laboratories are mainly used for the majority undergraduate practical training. The department is one of the first physiology departments nationally to switch to a more modern computerised physiology practical training programme. Students are exposed to the newest technology with interactive programmes to stimulate critical thinking in physiology.

This laboratory is one of the department’s main laboratories. Both undergraduate and post graduate training are done here. We have the newest apparatus to our disposal where students are trained with new techniques as well as developing new analytical techniques.

The exercise laboratory is mainly used for both undergraduate and postgraduate training, but also for external athlete performance testing.

This laboratory is used for postgraduate research that involves the use of animals to investigate certain diseases. 

Our department’s research mainly centres around this laboratory. The laboratory has four laminar flow hoods with different types of incubators for culturing and analysing cell culture samples.

Different advanced equipment is housed here. The unit is based in SU's Central Analytical Facilities and is available to different departments and tertiary institutions.​
