The Anatomy, Developmental & Human Biology Intercalated BSc offers students already on medical degree programmes the opportunity to achieve an additional specialist degree in just one year. The programme will help you to develop critical scientific research skills, and gain knowledge of a diverse range of anatomy-related fields. These include applied and clinical anatomy, ageing, regenerative medicine topics, genetics, cell and developmental biology, neuroscience, psychology and behavioural science, which reflect the teaching strengths of the department and wider School of Biosciences.

Key benefits

  • One-year course leading to intercalated BSc.
  • Strong focus on scientific research skills.
  • Europe's largest centre for medical and professional healthcare education.
  • Teaching by internationally renowned scientists and researchers.
  • Wide range of optional modules offered to allow flexibility and freedom to specialise in areas of interest.

Employability

Anatomy is the foundation of all medicine and the oldest of the basic medical sciences. It is a “gold standard” medical science. The application of anatomy is applicable in virtually every medical and surgical speciality, 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 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 will benefit from that extra step that you made to set yourself apart by obtaining an additional anatomy degree.

Graduates from the School of Bioscience Education are equipped with a variety of transferable skills including data gathering, analysis and interpretation, presentation skills and teamwork. Our graduates are well-qualified to undertake a wide range of careers or training for a higher degree such as an MSc or PhD; with recent graduates continuing to study in medicine, dentistry and other related fields including pharmaceutical sciences, cardiovascular pharmacology and biomedical research.
