The programme is offered by the University of Nairobi through the College of Biological and Physical Sciences at Chiromo Campus. It is a public university offering the programme over two academic years through full-time and part-time modes of study. Students develop competencies in human physiology, cellular biology, molecular biology, neurophysiology, endocrinology, histology, research methods, and biostatistics. The programme includes coursework, examinations, laboratory work, and a supervised research thesis. UoN charges approximately KES 433,500/year (KES 867,000 total) for science programmes. Entry requires a Bachelor's degree with Second Class Honours Upper Division in physiology, biology, biochemistry, medicine, veterinary medicine, or related fields from a recognised university. Graduates pursue careers as physiologists, cellular biologists, research scientists, biomedical researchers, laboratory managers, and lecturers in physiology across research institutions, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, universities, and regulatory bodies.</p><h3>Skills Required</h3><ul><li>Human Physiology and Organ Systems</li><li>Cellular Biology and Cell Culture Techniques</li><li>Molecular Biology and Gene Expression</li><li>Neurophysiology and Nervous System Function</li><li>Endocrinology and Hormonal Regulation</li><li>Histology and Tissue Processing</li><li>Biostatistics and Data Analysis</li><li>Research Methods in Physiology</li><li>Laboratory Techniques in Biomedical Science</li><li>Academic Writing and Thesis Research</li></ul><h3>Key Subjects</h3><ul><li>Human Physiology and Organ Systems</li><li>Cellular Biology and Cell Culture Techniques</li><li>Molecular Biology and Gene Expression</li><li>Neurophysiology and Nervous System Function</li><li>Endocrinology and Hormonal Regulation</li><li>Histology and Tissue Processing</li><li>Biostatistics and Data Analysis</li><li>Research Methods in Physiology</li><li>Laboratory Techniques in Biomedical Science</li><li>Thesis Research</li></ul><h3>Certifications</h3><ul><li>KEMRI Research Certification</li><li>Physiological Society Membership</li></ul><h3>Specializations</h3><h4>Neurophysiology</h4><p>Focuses on neurophysiology, covering nervous system function, neural signalling, brain function, sensory systems, and managing neurophysiology.</p><h4>Endocrine Physiology</h4><p>Examines endocrine physiology, covering hormonal regulation, endocrine glands, hormone action, metabolic regulation, and managing endocrine physiology.</p><h4>Cellular Biology</h4><p>Covers cellular biology, covering cell structure, function, signalling, cell cycle, apoptosis, and managing cellular biology.</p><h4>Reproductive Physiology</h4><p>Focuses on reproductive physiology, covering reproductive systems, gametogenesis, fertilisation, pregnancy, and managing reproductive physiology.</p><h4>Exercise Physiology</h4><p>Examines exercise physiology, covering exercise response, adaptation, performance, metabolism, and managing exercise physiology.</p><h4>Environmental Physiology</h4><p>Covers environmental physiology, covering temperature regulation, altitude, diving, adaptation, and managing environmental physiology.</p>
