Anatomy and Development - BSc (Hons)

The University of Edinburgh

The Anatomy and Development degree programme explores how the human body is built, how it grows and mechanisms of repair.This knowledge is increasingly important in the study of disease and in emerging fields such as tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.You will study the structure and organisation of tissues and organs alongside the biological processes that shape them, from the earliest stages of development to adulthood. Engaging with researchers at the forefront of biomedical research, you will learn through a mix of:* lectures* small group tutorials* practical lab sessions* independent researchGraduates from Anatomy and Development go on to a wide range of careers and further study, including:* postgraduate research* roles in biotechnology, healthcare, teaching or science communication* emerging fields such as tissue engineering and regenerative medicineOur Anatomy and Development degree is part of our suite of Biomedical Sciences degrees. In all programmes, you will develop your knowledge and understanding of biomedical sciences in Years 1 and 2 and then choose from a suite of more specialist courses in Year 3.The flexibility of our programmes means that you can also change your specialism at the end of Year 3. Specialisms you can choose from include:* biomedical science* reproductive biology* pharmacology* neuroscience* infectious diseases**Programme benefits*** You will join an interdisciplinary programme that provides the knowledge, skills and personal and professional development appropriate for globally competitive graduates of our key disciplines.* You will have the opportunity to undertake projects with our leading biomedical researchers addressing major global biomedical challenges.* In Year 3 you will have the option to study abroad at one of our partner universities.
