This is a practical, hands-on degree in Anatomy that allows you to combine a programme that includes cadaveric dissection with modules from medical and biological sciences. This degree will suit you if you want a thorough understanding of the structure and function of the human body. Our students are well prepared to compete for graduate entry into Medicine, Veterinary Medicine, Dental Sciences, Diagnostic Radiography and Physiotherapy, for higher degrees, and for careers in biological and medical science, archaeology, forensic science, palaeontology, sports science and teaching. Each year includes dissection of the human body, working in groups of about seven (subject to the availability of prepared cadavers) guided by a series of related lectures and practical sessions in the Human Anatomy Resource Centre. Lectures are given by top scientists in fields such as human evolution, vertebrate morphology, stem cell and developmental biology, musculoskeletal biology and cardiovascular biology. This is supported with topics that include physiology, pharmacology, neuroscience and practical skills. Year Three includes the opportunity for a practical research project in one of the internationally renowned research groups working within the research institutes that support the teaching on the degree programme.

Programme Year Three

All students undertake a research project. This may be a laboratory project (basic science, clinical, community or computer orientated) or a literature-based research project. These projects encompass anatomy and human biology in the widest possible terms giving students scope to pursue their own personal interests within the context of scientific investigation.

These projects have covered topics such as embryology, stem cells, cancer research, neurobiology, palaeontology, locomotion studies, ophthalmology, orthopaedic science, history of anatomy, cardiovascular biology, bone metabolism, functional magnetic resonance imaging and many more. Students usually choose projects that most benefit their future career paths.

Core modules:

  • Advanced Skills in Anatomical Science
  • Advanced Human Topographical Anatomy
  • Research Project

Plus one of the following modules:

  • Evolutionary and Comparative Anatomy
  • Primate Biology

And three from the following modules:

  • The Cardiovascular System in Health and Disease
  • Systematic Human Morphology
  • Clinical, Anatomical and Cellular Basis of Neurological Dysfunction
  • Human Evolution
  • Signally in Health and Disease
  • Integrative Comparative Animal Physiology
