What will I learn?

Anatomy is the scientific study of the structure of the human body related to its function and disease, and is considered the cornerstone of medical science, with advances in the field underpinning biomedical research and advances in medical practice. Modern anatomy incorporates contemporary topics like embryology, pathology, reproduction, neuroscience, forensics, and bioengineering, allowing you to pursue a personalised degree pathway aligned to your interests and employability. **Why study this course at the University of Glasgow?** The University has developed state-of-the-art anatomy facilities where you will learn through human cadaveric material in spaces equipped with modern audio-visual equipment. You will also benefit from teaching resources developed in-house using our 3D scanner and printer, as well as interactive laboratory-based digital resources developed by our own staff and students. This has transformed the student experience. Our degree offers flexibility to align your study to tailored professional goals so you can shape your desired skillset, depending on your ambitions. However you choose to sculpt your degree, we guarantee a personalised, distinctive Glasgow experience. You will have the opportunity to study abroad at one of our partner universities as part of your degree. This won’t add any extra time to your studies. **Career Prospects?** This degree will open an array of careers in healthcare, biomedical research, education, digital technologies and forensics. Our graduates gain employment in biomedical research, developing digital technologies, hospital and industry laboratories, clinical trials, allied health professions and publishing. Many also continue in postgraduate medicine, teaching or dentistry.
