Appreciation Award to Linda McNeill
Congratulations to Linda McNeill, Secretary for the Human Body Systems (HUBS) papers, for being a recipient of a Disability Information and Support Appreciation Award.
Physiology forms the basis of many careers in a variety of industries and facilities such as medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, physiotherapy, veterinary science, teaching, ophthalmology, nursing, audiology, information technology, scientific engineering, research, governmental sector, tertiary sector, healthcare and laboratories.
In addition to these options being taken by recent graduates, the increasing importance of the role of biotechnology in our society is rapidly creating new opportunities for physiologists in non-traditional career paths such as publishing companies (scientific writers), law firms (interpretation of forensic data or patent applications), public relations firms and consultancies (who need trained scientists to interpret technical information, and present it to clients/investors in a way they can understand).
If you can see yourself in any of these roles, a BSc major in Physiology or a BBiomedSc major in Functional Human Physiology can help get you there! Don't take our word for it. See what physiology graduates think of what their degree did for them.
The Physiology Department's staff are so approachable and genuinely happy to help. Having lecturers be so positive and excited about their work makes study so much easier!
