MEDICINE

Medical Science
(Anatomical Sciences)
Overview

This award has been designed
to facilitate the learning of the
generic skills and knowledge
essential to successful higher
clinical practice and careers in
academic medicine by applying
the principles of the scientific
method to studies in both
anatomical research and clinically
applied anatomy.

Additional information
Anatomy encompasses all
levels of structural organisation,
topographical, neuroanatomical,
histological, cellular and
developmental, as well as
providing a basis for studies
in radiological imaging and
pathology. This approach allows
students to integrate recent
advances in molecular genetics,
cell biology, microscopy, imaging
and computer simulation to
biological and clinical problems
concerning the human body.
