Program Overview

---

Cardiac Physiology is a challenging but rewarding field that focuses on the detection and assessment of heart disease in a wide range of settings. Our cardiac courses are divided equally between academic and clinical placement learning, giving you the skills to change lives through your specialist care.

You’ll study cardiovascular, respiratory and sleep physiology in your first year, then specialise in cardiac physiology in your second and third years. You’ll learn how to use specialist diagnostic equipment and interpret clinical information to make key decisions.

Based at Southampton General Hospital and Highfield campus, you'll put your learning into practice in our dedicated specialist cardiac skills lab. You’ll benefit from a high level of patient interaction and workplace training through placements in out-patient departments, wards, theatres and ITU.

On successful completion of this degree course you'll be able to apply for registration with the

Academy for Healthcare Science

(AHS) and the

Registration Council for Clinical Physiologists

(RCCP).

You may be able to study this course part-time if you're already working in a Cardiac Physiology Department (UCAS code 7D25). Please
