Students will develop an understanding of the principles of experimental design appropriate for investigating underlying mechanisms of physiological responses. They will also undertake a research project completed over several weeks, which will require them to formulate a suitable hypothesis to investigate a physiological problem, select and test suitable techniques, design appropriate experimental protocols to test their hypothesis, collect and analyse their data, and write a scientific report on their findings.

On completion of the subject, students should be able to:
- To learn physiological concepts in a practical setting
- Understand the principles and elements of experimental design
- To develop and apply practical skills in how to conduct physiological experiments, and communicate these results in written form
- To develop and apply skills of critical analysis of scientific literature
- To develop skills to communicate ideas and physiological concepts in written form
Generic skills
Critical thinking, creative thinking, self-managed learning, adaptability, problem solving, communication skills, interpersonal skills, group work and computer literacy.
