By completing this programme, you will be able to understand in detail human anatomy and evolution, including the evolution of our closest relatives, the primates, with a particular focus on musculoskeletal anatomy and its interfaces with ecology and behaviour.

The course will equip you with knowledge and cutting edge practical experience required to interpret functional and evolutionary anatomy. You can gain hands on experience of virtual modelling techniques and have the option to gain practical knowledge of anatomy through dissection of human and non-human cadaveric material…

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.

Entry requirements

Students studying medicine following successful completion of their third or fourth year and who will return to the fourth or fifth year of the MBCh…

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.

Entry requirements

You need to have successfully completed at least three years of your current Medicine course before the start date of the intercalated masters degree You need to have a three year average GPA of 4.0 out of 5.0 (where your course is graded differently we will consider equivalent grades) If your GPA (or equivalent) is lower, we ma…

Hull York Medical School

Unlike a basic anatomy course, this programme will allow you to develop a deep understanding of the complex nature of the human body and how that relates to clinical practice – so you can effectively evaluate, diagnose and treat illnesses.

You will also be trained in pedagogical techniques that will equip you with the skills to teach anatomy to students and healthcare professionals in your future medical career.

The programme is built around core dissection-based modules covering the whole 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.

This programme also provides a comprehensive professional education that focuses on…

University of Bristol

The Functional and Clinical Anatomy intercalated course provides students from professional programmes with a detailed knowledge of human anatomy that is related to function and, ultimately, dysfunction. A major component of the degree is dissection. This programme was instigated in response to student demand and is designed to complement pre-clinical basic science teaching.

In small groups, you will dissect a cadaveric subject and be expected to investigate anatomical variations, pathologies and evidence of procedures present in their subject, building this into an extensive research portfolio. This work will be supported by integrated functional and clinical seminars for each of the regions of the body.

The Advanced Dissection and Research Portfolio unit underpins the entire course and dictates which body region is discussed in the associated seminar. Over 24 weeks, you will dissect your subject in small groups, taking note of evidence …
