Careers

Anatomy is the foundation of all medicine and the oldest of the basic medical sciences. The application of anatomy is applicable in virtually every medical and surgical specialty, as well as general medicine and even more specific medical subjects, where the association may not be immediately obvious. An enhanced knowledge and appreciation of anatomy is highly likely to improve your clinical skills and understanding, irrespective of your chosen career path.

This programme allows you to study and learn from a huge range of subjects. It is a programme that boasts a wide variety of subjects that are too long to list here and are highly variable in their subject matter and content. You can easily make a bespoke programme to suit your own interests because of this.

Having an intercalated anatomy degree will enhance your career portfolio and lead to greater opportunities for you. Not only will you mature and refine your academic abilities over the programme year, but you will gain insight into a world of science that it is not possible to deliver to this level during undergraduate medicine. There is a level of intellectual sophistication that is reached because of taking the extra academic year to obtain the anatomy iBSc

You will obtain a degree that is recognised and respected worldwide and knowledge and qualifications that are precursors to higher levels of study in the scientific community, such as a PhD. Later in your career, you may want to do a medical MD and you would undoubtedly draw on your now enhanced level; obtained from your iBSc in anatomy.

You may not be interested in further qualifications, once you graduate with your iBSc and medical degree, but whatever you do in your career you will benefit from that extra step that you made to set yourself apart by obtaining an additional anatomy degree.
