Course summary

Examine the role of hormones in regulating life processes and disease. Study a wide range of endocrine disorders, how they affect patients and how they can be treated.

Course description

This course focuses on the role of hormones in regulating all key bodily processes. It covers fundamental endocrinology, how this underpins disease processes throughout all stages of life, and how this knowledge can be used to develop treatments.

You will study topics including hormone synthesis, homeostasis and the pathophysiology of endocrine disorders that affect children, young people and adults. Alongside other subjects in endocrinology, diabetes is examined in detail 鈥� from its symptoms and complications to effective management strategies 鈥� so you can learn how it affects patients throughout their lives. You will also explore the process of testing and developing potential new drugs to treat endocrine disease.

The programme is led by experienced clinicians and scientists specialising in endocrinology and diabetes. You will have the opportunity to join them in clinics and clinical meetings at Sheffield Children鈥檚 Hospital and Sheffield Teaching Hospitals. A significant part of the degree will be your six-month research project, where you will join one of our research teams to develop your skills in the lab and run your own experiments to test a hypothesis in endocrinology.
