 Learning outcome
1Exhibit a deep and integrated knowledge of physiological principles and concepts and their role in the workings of the major systems of the human body
2Exhibit a broad and coherent body of knowledge of the methods used in the physiological sciences and explain why current disciplinary knowledge is both contestable and testable by further inquiry
3Select and apply practical and theoretical techniques and tools to carry out physiological investigations
4Source, collate, synthesise and critically evaluate information in physiology from a range of relevant sources
5Integrate understanding from other disciplines including physics, chemistry, mathematics and other biomedical sciences into a coherent body of physiological knowledge
6Communicate concepts and findings in physiology and their implications through a range of modes for a variety of purposes, using evidence-based arguments that are robust to critique
7Evaluate the role and relevance of physiological research findings to society, including the translation to health outcomes across a range of social and cultural contexts
8Define a problem, formulate a hypothesis and plan an investigation in physiology
9Develop creative and innovative approaches to problem solving in the field of physiological research and work effectively, responsibly and safely in individual and collaborative contexts
10Address authentic problems in physiology, working professionally, responsibly and ethically within collaborative, interdisciplinary teams
