61 anatomical sciences minimum requirements and degrees available are given on page 56. why study anatomical sciences?
Anatomy is the relationship between structure and function in the human body and ranges from gross anatomy to the cellular and molecular levels. A major feature of our degree programmes is the emphasis on hands-on practical human anatomy. We are continuously striving to improve our teaching and have been active in developing teaching software to help deliver both lecture and practical material.
employability
As a graduate in anatomical sciences you will have an excellent grounding for a career in, or further training for, biomedicine and related fields including clinical laboratory medicine and forensic science. Many of you will contribute to a better understanding of the basis of human disease, taking higher degrees and then going on to careers in biomedical research. You will also be welcomed into applied research and development in the biotechnology industries. Some of you will go on to teach in schools and universities. We also have a good record of postgraduate entry to medicine, dentistry and physiotherapy. A broad spectrum of employment is available to graduates in any discipline and your training in communication and transferable skills will be recognised and valued by a wide range of employers.
programme content • typical degree programme example
Please refer to the Biological/Biomedical Sciences overview on page 56 for details of the common curriculum in Levels 1 and 2 and progression into the Integrated Masters (Level 5).
Level 3 At Level 3 you will study the following aspects of anatomy:
> The specialised structure and function of different cells, tissues and organs of the human body.
> The molecular switches that control this diversity as an embryo develops from a single cell.
Practical human anatomy is a substantial component of the Level 3 programme.
You can combine the study of human anatomy with physiological sciences in an Anatomical & Physiological Sciences degree.
Many students take advantage of opportunities for summer work placements, normally between Levels 3 and 4, which are available as externally-funded competitive placements, or as voluntary laboratory work.
Level 4
Your studies at Level 4 will be at the level of current research in your chosen subject area.
> Advanced study of topics in anatomical sciences that currently include:
• cell and developmental biology • genetics • cancer research • functional and applied anatomy • cytoskeletal function • cellular signalling • human reproduction • the cell division cycle • protein targeting and secretion • molecular oncology • biomedical imaging • functional anatomy of the musculoskeletal system • neuroanatomy
Studying anatomy at Dundee was fascinating, challenging
and thoroughly enjoyable. Adam Young, graduated in 2008 with BSc (Hons) Anatomical Sciences
