BSc (Hons) Anatomical Sciences
Course Overview
This comprehensive Anatomy degree provides a detailed study of the human body's structure, from developmental stages to adult form, integrating knowledge of physiology and biochemistry. Students gain unparalleled hands-on experience through full-body dissection of uniquely preserved Thiel-embalmed cadavers, which offer exceptional flexibility and realism. The course culminates in an independent research project, guided by staff who are leading experts in human identification and forensic anthropology.
Key Program Highlights
- Hands-on full body dissection using revolutionary Thiel-embalmed cadavers for superior realism
- Strong foundation in physiological and biochemical biomedical sciences
- Specialized teaching from experienced experts in forensic anthropology and human identification
- Opportunity to conduct an independent research project in a chosen area
- Study of human anatomy across the entire lifespan, from development to adulthood
