The Anatomy, Developmental & Human Biology Intercalated BSc offers students already on medical degree programmes the opportunity to achieve an additional specialist degree in just one year. The programme will help you to develop critical scientific research skills, and gain knowledge of a diverse range of anatomy-related fields. These include applied and clinical anatomy, ageing, regenerative medicine topics, genetics, cell and developmental biology, neuroscience, psychology and behavioural science, which reflect the teaching strengths of the department and wider School of Biosciences.

The Anatomy, Developmental & Human Biology Intercalated BSc course will provide you with a great deal of flexibility and freedom to choose modules that reflect your interests, under guidance from our staff to ensure that your choices form a coherent programme of study.

It offers a wide choice of taught units, e.g., advanced human anatomy, surgical science, developmental neurobiology and psychology/behavioural science and many more. You are also required to complete a compulsory research project, either library-based or experimental, on topics that reflect the research strengths and interests of the department. This requirement means that you will acquire valuable research skills, as well as opportunities to develop specialist knowledge in anatomy and related fields which will be of benefit in any medical career.

The projects offered in the programme will give you real world experience of working in laboratories and / or data collecting, each culminating in you producing your own unique body of work for assessment. The projects offer a real evolution of learning technique, writing skills, analysis, multidisciplinary teamwork and knowledge enhancement.
