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…

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.

Queen's University Belfast

The MSc(Res) in Cancer Medicine will provide students with new knowledge of how precision medicine can improve and shape future healthcare. Students will gain hands-on experience of molecular techniques and the equipment/devices used in a modern molecular laboratory; the course will provide training in laboratory and research skills that are applicable across multiple scientific disciplines in a supportive learning environment. Central to this research-intensive programme is a 24-week Research Project (which runs throughout both semesters) where students undertake hands-on research training within active research teams. Through taught modules students will be able to evaluate how novel therapeutic approaches can be used to stratify patients into treatment groups for better clinical management (stratified / precision medicine). They will observe the delivery of precision medicine through tours of the Northern Ireland Cancer Centre.

University of Birmingham

The intercalated BSc in Clinical Anatomy is a one-year multifaceted programme. The course combines the academic study of anatomy with a practical focus on its influence, impact, and role in the clinical environment.

The importance of anatomy within contemporary clinical medicine has grown substantially, traditionally bound to surgical disciplines, the advancement of both imaging and novel interventions means that, more than ever, medical graduates require a strong grounding in anatomy.

This programme has been developed to allow students to study anatomy in greater depth, specifically in its clinical context, and to provide the platform to further investigate the role of applied anatomy in the understanding and management of disease. Uniquely, this programme allows students to improve their understanding of 3-dimensional anatomy through whole-body dissection, while exploring its application through clinical placements. The BSc Cli…

Cardiff University

The intercalated year aims to provide a balance between classical anatomical studies and the modern understanding of cell and developmental biology, genetics and disease mechanisms.

You will have the opportunities to spend an academic year in a research-active environment where your learning is aligned closely to the research areas that are very much at the forefront of the advancement in medicine and development of contemporary medical technologies such as tissue engineering.

Entry requirements

The School of Medicine applies certain selection criteria that external students should meet or surpass if they wish to be considered for intercalation. Applicants must have completed Year 3 or Year 4 of their medical degree. This is with the exception of the Emergency, Pre-hospital and Immediate Care Degree where applicants must have completed Year 4 of their medical degree. To have an application considered, an external candidate must …

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…

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 units underpin the entire course and dictate which body region is discussed in the associated seminar. Over 24 weeks, you will dissect your subject in small groups, taking note of evi…

University of Manchester

Our BSc Anatomical Sciences course will enable you to study 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 .

Continuation onto the modern language, integrated master's or industrial/professional experience course is dependent on certain academic criteria.
