Space Physiology & Health – (M.Sc.)

The programme provides opportunities for students to develop and demonstrate knowledge, understanding and skills in the following areas:

* detailed and in depth knowledge of the physiological effects of the space environment upon humans and of the methods employed to mitigate such effects. Provide practical experience in experimentation methods appropriate to investigate the physiological effects of the space environment and those employed to mitigate such effects. A knowledge of instrumentation, calibration, data acquisition and the analysis of results whilst applying the appropriate statistical methods.
* an understanding of the effect of the space environment upon human behaviour and performance.
* a detailed knowledge of the practical implications of disease and physical deconditioning in space-faring humans and the practices required to counter and manage such events.
* knowledge of the characteristics and practices associated with medical and life science research environments in space.
