About this course
This is a practical, hands-on degree in Anatomy that allows you to combine a programme that includes cadaveric dissection with modules from biomedical and biological sciences. This degree will suit you if you want a thorough understanding of the structure and function of the human body. Our students are well prepared to compete for graduate entry into Medicine, Veterinary Medicine, Dental Sciences, Diagnostic Radiography and Physiotherapy, for higher degrees, and for careers in biological and medical science, archaeology, forensic science, palaeontology, sports science and teaching.
This programme is available with either a Year in China or a Year Abroad. The Year in China offers undergraduate students the opportunity to spend one year at our joint venture, Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU), following XJTLU's BA China Studies degree classes. XJTLU is a fully English-speaking university, located in Suzhou. The Year Abroad offers students the opportunity to spend a full academic year studying at one of our partner universities around the world, following a mixture of culture and/or discipline-related modules. If you wish to study this programme with a Year in China or a Year Abroad you will have the opportunity to apply after you arrive at Liverpool.
