CKX52 MSc Human Anatomy Course Details

The programme is designed to reinforce and advance the anatomical knowledge and dissection skills of the participants. Core modules will cover different anatomical sciences such as gross anatomy, neuroanatomy and human embryology. Modules are designed to accommodate students with different interests. In the Anatomy Pedagogy module students will be taught to develop and deliver innovative anatomical teaching methods which include the use of new technologies. 

Course duration:

This programme is full-time over three semesters. Students should expect to attend a mixture of lectures, tutorials, seminars, and laboratories from 9am to 5pm daily, with some time dedicated to independent learning, during semesters 1 & 2.
