Course Details

Biomedical Sciences (Anatomy) (BSc)

Course Description

The Cardiff Biomedical Science (Anatomy) BSc is a research-led degree that provides a balance between classical anatomical studies and a modern understanding of cell and developmental biology. On this course, you will study human physiology, anatomy and neuroscience in Year One before specialising in Anatomy in Years Two and Three. A major component of the Cardiff anatomy course is taught traditionally through human cadaveric dissection. Human dissection is by far the most rewarding and effective way of learning and appreciating the intricate structure of the human form and provides a unique learning experience no longer offered by many UK universities. You will be taught by excellent and experienced anatomists from the newly established Anatomical Education Centre within the School of Biosciences. As an anatomy student at Cardiff, you will also be taught by staff with diverse research interests in the field of biomedical science. At Cardiff School of Biosciences you will be joining a large and vibrant community of students and academic staff. We have over 100 dedicated and enthusiastic academic staff across a wide variety of disciplines, including world-renowned researchers in their respective fields (for example, a previous Head of School, Sir Martin Evans, won the Nobel Prize for medicine in 2007). The academic atmosphere provides ample opportunity for you to explore your chosen subject in depth, and to discover aspects of the biosciences that you may not have previously encountered.
