The taught MSc in Human Anatomy is designed to reinforce and advance the anatomical knowledge and dissection skills of the participants. Core modules cover anatomical sciences such as gross anatomy, neuroanatomy and human embryology. The MSc programme has a large cadaver-based dissection component which provides participants with a unique and exceptional opportunity to develop their dissection and anatomical knowledge on human material. The course is based in the FLAME laboratory, the department's newly constructed state-of-the-art human anatomy research facility. Students develop and deliver innovative teaching methods, receive hands-on practical experience in radiological modalities, design and implement an independent anatomy-related research project. The variety of assessment methods experienced on this course provides students with skills they can employ in their careers.
