Progression Summary
our msci anatomical sciences course will enable you to achieve an integrated master's degree while you study for a bsc, giving you significant research experience that will be invaluable for a phd and a career in research.
the first three years of the course focus on the structure and form of different organisms, including humans, and the relationships between their parts.
you will study structure - from the whole human body to the tissue, cellular and sub-cellular level - and relate this to function in the adult and during embryonic development. you will also have the opportunity to study the anatomy of other species.
your theoretical learning will be underpinned by practical experience in our dissecting room facilities.
in year 4, you will undertake a major research project in one of the university's more than 200 research labs to achieve your undergraduate master's award.
our course has advanced accreditation from the royal society of biology , which recognises academic excellence in the biosciences and highlights degrees that educate the research and development leaders and innovators of the future.
