Physiology is concerned with the study of body function, providing an integrated perspective from the molecular to the whole organism level. Physiology is a major contributor to undergraduate science, pre-clinical medical and dental teaching programs.

Physiology is a research-intensive discipline that runs postgraduate teaching and research programs in a wide range of areas relevant to human disease, such as clinical audiology, pharmacy, cardiovascular, dietary and nutritional studies, respiration and asthma, nerve and muscle function, and thermoregulation.
