Anatomy and Development

The University of Edinburgh

The fields of anatomy and developmental biology are closely interlinked. Knowledge of anatomy is important in many areas of biology and medicine, including developmental biology. Similarly, developmental biology tells us much about how normal anatomy is formed and maintained. Understanding the anatomy and development of tissues and organs is essential to the emerging area of tissue repair.The broad analytical, scientific and personal skills you gain on this programme will equip you for a variety of careers.This programme will particularly appeal to those planning:a career in biomedical research or a related areaa graduate-entry career in industry, management or the public sectorPrevious graduates have been employed in science and non-science sectors, including:teachingmarketingaccountancypolicy researchA large proportion of our graduates choose to go on to further study before entering successful academic or industry-based research careers.
