University of Leeds

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 in the dissecting room supported by lectures, tutorials and seminars in areas including gross anatomy, neuroanatomy, medical imaging and medical embryology.

The anatomy team is small and friendly. We work very closely with the intercalating anatomy students and get to know them very well.

Students on this degree programme have gone on to give oral or poster presentations at national meetings; some have won awards for these presentations.

Entry requirements

Medical students from other universities may apply for entry to intercalated undergraduate (BSc/BA) programmes of study offered at Leeds; please review individual course entry requirements.

University of Glasgow

Anatomy is the scientific study of the human body in relation to its function. Throughout this programme you will explore the scientific principles which underlie clinical investigations into the form, function and development of the human body from early embryological stages into adulthood.

The Anatomical Sciences course for intercalating students runs in parallel with our BSc (honours) and MSci in Anatomy programmes. Most of the teaching is delivered in the form of lectures and tutorials, however, there is great emphasis on all our students to build on this material through further independent learning.

Entry requirements

Applications from external medical and dental students are welcome. Please be aware that we expect admission through this route to be extremely competitive. Applications will be reviewed on their own merits and entrants would be expected to be of a similar standard to those intercalating from within Glasgo…

Hull York Medical School

The MSc in Clinical Anatomy provides unique opportunities to immerse yourself in the practical and in-depth study of clinical anatomy. The programme is built around core dissection-based modules covering the whole body. You will be encouraged to be a self-directed learner and challenge your knowledge and ways of thinking about the human body.

You will carry out whole-body dissection in small teaching groups during formal dissection sessions, and at your own pace in your own self-directed learning time, using both Thiel embalmed cadavers that ensure material is as close to living tissue as possible, and Formalin embalmed cadavers that keep the material in defined anatomical relationships.

You will have the unique opportunity to learn from experts in their field who are at the forefront of new developments in clinical anatomy, visiting surgeons and consultants. As well as learning from their expertise, you will be challenged to thi…

Keele University

This award has been designed to facilitate learning of the generic skills and knowledge essential to successful higher clinical practice and careers in academic medicine.  This is achieved by applying the principles of scientific inquiry to the study of macroscopic, microscopic and clinically relevant anatomy.

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, neuroscience, microscopy, imaging and immersive technology to biological and clinical problems concerning the human body.

University of Birmingham

The importance of anatomy within contemporary clinical medicine has grown substantially with the development of both imaging and interventions beyond those traditionally limited to surgical disciplines.

These include diagnostic radiology and interventional radiology; community based imaging such as ultrasonography, anaesthesia and pain management; endoscopic investigations and endoscopically delivered therapies, interventional cardiology. Most new medical graduates will be involved to some extent in these techniques.

An intercalated degree in Clinical Anatomy provides the opportunity for you to gain experience in this area through a bespoke anatomy course for students between years 3 and 4, or years 4 and 5 of their MBChB programme.

University of Sheffield

Understanding human anatomy is integral to a wide range of clinical and scientific disciplines including medicine, dentistry, archaeology, forensic science and bioengineering. A reduction in the number of universities nationally and internationally offering training in human anatomy has led to a shortfall in those qualified to work in the fields associated with the discipline.

This course offers the opportunity not only to develop an in-depth understanding of anatomy through cadaveric dissection but also extensive training to become an accredited anatomy teacher.
