i'm not sure what career l wanted but l know l wanted to work in the health/ medical department.

 

what are my career paths if i take either microbiology or human physiology

Human physiology is a very basic subject, so by itself, it will get u nowhere beyond basic research. However, it provides an important foundation for many other subjects in the field of medicine.

Physiology is the understanding of how the body works. You have to understand that before u proceed into the realms of pathology,pharmacology & eventually clinical medicine. So, if you're pursuing a career in health or medicine, a basic understanding of fundamental physiology is absolutely essential.

A degree in physiology opens the door to many career opportunities. Many students who've achieved the degree decide to pursue a career in fundamental research in laboratories and, therefore, continue their studies towards an M.Sc. or Ph.D. or they find employment/training in pharmacology, teaching, forensic science, radiography,
dietetics, nursing, physiotherapy or other branches of the health service.

As far as microbiology is concerned, in my opinion, microbiologist is the best career u can choose in that particular field.
