Applied Anatomy (BSc)

Applied Anatomy at the University of Bristol teaches a thorough understanding of human and veterinary anatomy. Through hands-on, practical teaching, including some dissection, you will explore the principles of comparative anatomy and the structure of the major mammalian body systems. As the programme progresses you will develop an understanding of the principles of comparative anatomy, and structures of the major body systems, through functional, applied and clinical lenses. Dissection opportunities will give depth and nuance to your anatomical knowledge, and the key focus of the final year is an original research project, aligned with your future ambitions, alongside expert-led discussions of the latest anatomical research. A personal and professional development theme runs through the course and equips you with essential discipline-specific and transferable skills for future employment. Applied Anatomy BSc graduates enter a wide range of career paths and use their skills in a variety of fields including research, professions allied to health, journalism, and education. Our graduates may go on to pursue a PhD or an MSc degree in anatomy, biomedical sciences, clinical sciences or imaging. Many of our graduates go on to study medicine, veterinary medicine, or dentistry. Other graduates choose to use their transferable skills in non-scientific careers. You will learn in a friendly and vibrant environment with enthusiastic teaching staff and have access to many student study spaces, anatomy museums, imaging suites, and a wide range of online resources to supplement your learning. In year one you will study Anatomical Sciences, which explores the principles of vertebrate design with an emphasis on structure-function relationships and comparative anatomy. Alongside these units, you will also study Physiology, Functional Neuroanatomy, and Introduction to Neuroscience. In year two you will further your existing anatomical knowledge with detailed prosection-based units, Human Anatomy and Vet Anatomy. You will have the rare opportunity to undertake a full-body dissection. You will also apply your existing anatomical knowledge in the context of diagnostic imaging of normal and abnormal tissue through a variety of diagnostic imaging modalities. In year three you follow a seminar-based unit where you will be actively involved in expert-led discussion of the latest anatomical research. The teaching explores two key themes; the normal function of, and the aging and dysfunction of, the mammalian body. The highlight of this year is an original research project where you can choose a topic which potentially supports your interests and career aspirations.
