This degree will allow you to gain a detailed understanding of the structure and function of the human body and its relationships to health and disease. 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.

We also offer support for making career choices right from the beginning and you will have the opportunity to consider potential career pathways within and outside the field of Anatomy & Human Biology.

You’ll learn and develop those important transferable skills in communication, team working, project management and computing with practical sessions and group work.
