Email: 

On behalf of every member of staff, I heartily welcome you to the Physiology Department. As one of the foundation Departments in the College of Health Sciences and indeed the University, we strive to uphold the Philosophy of the University and College, which is to raise men of integrity and who are sound in knowledge. 

Why study Physiology? Physiology provides a wide range of career opportunities. It also forms a core discipline for most, if not all medically oriented professions such as Medicine, Dentistry, Physiotherapy, Nursing to mention but a few.

Physiology may look like an abstract and wide subject but it is our intention to make it fun and exciting to all our students. It is believed that at the end of their stay in the Department, they would have acquired enough competence in Physiology through appreciating the various mechanisms through which the body performs normal functions. 

This webpage contains basic information that will assist you in familiarizing yourself with the Department.
