Anatomical Sciences BSc (Hons)
Course Overview - Anatomical Sciences BSc (Hons)
Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body and the relationship of organs and tissues at a gross (whole organ) and microscopic (histological) level.
During your first two years, youll study modules within the School of Life Sciences. This gives you a solid understanding of physiology, biochemistry and related biomedical sciences.
As the degree progresses, youll develop a sound knowledge of the human body from the early stages of development to adult form. Youll learn full body dissection on our Thiel-embalmed cadavers and understand the practical methods ce...
Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body and the relationship of organs and tissues at a gross (whole organ) and microscopic (histological) level.<br/><br/>During your first two years, youll study modules within the School of Life Sciences. This gives you a solid understanding of physiology, biochemistry and related biomedical sciences. <br/><br/>As the degree progresses, youll develop a sound knowledge of the human body from the early stages of development to adult form. Youll learn full body dissection on our Thiel-embalmed cadavers and understand the practical methods central to anatomy. Youll also investigate an area of research during your own independent project.<br/><br/>We were the first UK university to use the Thiel embalming system in our teaching. This method of embalming maintains the fascial layers between anatomical structures, and Thiel cadavers retain a high level of flexibility and colour. It offers a novel and revolutionary experience of working with human material compared to other traditional preservation methods.<br/><br/>Our staff are among the most experienced in the UK in the fields of human identification, forensic anthropology, craniofacial identification and the study of the human body.
