Bachelor in Anatomy and Human Biology BSc (Hons)

Introduction The Master of Anatomy & Human Biology (MBio) is a four-year programme, in which students first follow the three-year BSc in Anatomy & Human Biology and then continue into a fourth year, subject to performance. In the first three years, you will study a broad range of modules that focus on anatomical topics covering the 6 main systems (MSK, cardiovascular, urogenital, respiratory, nervous, digestive) and the 6 main regions (thorax, abdomen, pelvis, head & neck, & limbs) of the body. This is complemented with wider topics such as physiology, disease biology, genetics, development, and comparative biology, and culminates in an individual dissection project. You will also have the opportunity to specialise and carry out your own research project. Each year you will be allocated time within the Human Anatomy Resource Centre, our dedicated anatomy facility. The fourth (Master’s) year aims at developing enhanced research and personal skills for students seeking a high-level career in research (e. g. studying for a PhD or working in industry) or those seeking to enhance their qualification.  Students will join a research team to undertake a significant research project. Students can also apply for a six-week summer research internship in the UK or overseas or apply to spend time working in industry or in other enterprises in the final year. What you'll learn Develop practical and theoretical knowledge of structural and functional anatomy in health & disease Develop practical skills by combining cadaveric dissection with a thorough exploration of human biology within the dedicated Human Anatomy Resource Centre Enhance your understanding of topical issues, ethical principles, professionalism & respect in Anatomy Become literate in finding, interpreting, evaluating and managing information Communicate ideas effectively to a variety of audiences Work independently and collaboratively Develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills Use lab equipment correctly and safely Plan, initiate, and carry out projects
