Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Anatomical Sciences

During the first two years of this University of Dundee course, students study modules within the School of Life Sciences. This gives them a solid understanding of physiology, biochemistry and related biomedical sciences. 

As the degree progresses, students will develop a sound knowledge of the human body from the early stages of development to adult form. They'll learn full body dissection on the Thiel-embalmed cadavers and understand the practical methods central to anatomy. They'll also investigate an area of research during their own independent project.

University of Dundee was the first UK university to use the Thiel embalming system in their teaching. This method of embalming maintains the fascial layers between anatomical structures, and Thiel cadavers retain a high level of flexibility and colour. It offers a novel and revolutionary experience of working with human material compared to other traditional preservation methods.
