Programme specification:

A sound knowledge and understanding of human anatomy is required in almost all medical specialities, not simply in the obvious disciplines like surgery, pathology and radiology. The BSc Clinical Anatomy provides the opportunity for extensive hands-on study of anatomy through dissection supported by a wide range of digitally-enabled, inclusive and active learning opportunities in areas including gross anatomy, neuroanatomy, teaching and research in the anatomical science and medical imaging.

Each module in the programme has clearly defined learning outcomes that allow you to develop as individuals and
facilitate you in exploring the topics in depth. The modules offered build substantially on the anatomical learning you will have done earlier in your medical programme and will support you in developing a professional identity that will help your future career aspirations. In addition to the modules that detail the relevant anatomy, students will also be able to engage in skills development through near-peer teaching opportunities and developing critical appraisal and written scientific communication skills in the teaching and research module. This module will provide you with the experience and confidence to develop as clinical anatomists that are able to meaningfully contribute to the wider healthcare sector upon graduation. A high number of students on this degree programme have gone on to develop the necessary skills to deliver oral or poster presentations at national meetings, with some also winning awards for these presentations and output. In addition the near-peer teaching experience will support you in applying for Associate Fellow status of The Higher Education Academy.

The assessment portfolio is diverse and authentic in its alignment to the learning objectives and wider ambitions of the student group. This includes opportunities to evidence your knowledge and understanding of the subject, along with the dissemination of this to your peers.

The anatomy team is small and friendly, with diverse backgrounds that bring a wide range of perspectives and approaches to the programme, which will support you in your own personal development of the subject matter. The programme team works very closely with the intercalating anatomy students and get to know them very well through partnership activities and small group interactions.
