Undergraduate Human Anatomy & Physiology
Course overview
Summer School modules are designed to be intensive, intellectually stimulating short courses. They are taught by King’s academics in academic disciplines where King's has expertise. Classes are highly international, giving students an opportunity to collaborate with peers from all around the globe.
Each module consists of 150 study hours, comprising 45 hours of intensive synchronous and asynchronous teaching, independent study and group work and is examined to university standards. Comparable to an in-semester 15-credit King’s undergraduate module and therefore typically awarded 3-4 US credits or 7.5 ECTS, many summer students ask their home institution to award them external credit for their King's summer module to use towards their degree programme when they return home.
What does this course cover?
The use of e-learning anatomy software will enable the students to augment their learning. There will be 2 sessions in the dissection room to facilitate learning about the skeleton and the cardiovascular system. There will be 2 physiology practicals about the respiratory system and the cardiovascular system.
What will I achieve?
On completion of the course the students should be able to demonstrate basic anatomical knowledge of the human being with particular detail in the musculoskeletal, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems. Students should be able to demonstrate understanding of systems physiology with particular detail in muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems.
Who will I learn with?
Professor in Biomedical Engineering and the Head of Education at the School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences
