BSc (Hons) Human Anatomy Bachelor's degree at Keele University

A diverse range of learning activities will develop students' knowledge of practical research skills and explore how measuring techniques relate to current anatomical research. Concepts such as embalming and preservation techniques will familiarise students with Keele's anatomy facilities and resources. The module provides vital opportunities for discussion around the ethics of donation and use of human material across educational, research and industrial settings.

This module will serve as a framework for students to explore how different cultures have approached the acquisition of anatomical knowledge. Students will learn how advancements in this field have considerable influence over modern terminology, scientific practice and legal governance across the world. Small group facilitator-led tutorials will give students the opportunity to discuss equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in anatomical sciences and consider present-day actions that could shap

This module will introduce students to appropriate anatomical terminology and to the structure and key functions of the following anatomical systems: cardiovascular, respiratory, lymphatic, nervous, digestive, integumentary, endocrine, urinary, genital, skeletal and muscular systems. Throughout this module students will learn to recognise and describe various organs and tissues associated with each system, and will integrate anatomy and physiology to explain the dynamic interrelationships betwee

Laboratory-based practical sessions with light microscopes will develop students' knowledge of the basic concepts and techniques used in histology, including tissue preparation and staining. During the module, students will examine various cells and tissues found in the body and explore their composition and functions. This module encourages students to bridge their knowledge of gross (both living and cadaveric) human anatomy with the study of physiology and pathology.

A diverse range of practical learning environments will allow students to integrate their understanding of body systems, encountered in ANA-10007, by studying the nervous system at a cellular and macroscopic level. Elements of critical thinking and appraisal of scientific literature will be introduced to underpin the regional anatomy and clinical concepts that will be explored further in later years of the programme.

This module will develop students' understanding of the human body through regional cadaveric dissection. It will enhance their ability to recognise anatomical structures and integrate the anatomical and physiological principles associated with the lower limb, thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic regions. This module offers a hands-on approach to learning anatomy, fostering students' practical dissection and teamwork skills. It will provide students with an in-depth knowledge of the trunk and lower l

This module will provide students with a fundamental understanding of human development and how it underpins the study of anatomy. It will establish student's ability to recognise early anatomical structures and integrate anatomical and biological principles to explain the developmental processes from fertilisation to birth. This foundational knowledge will allow students to explore the impacts that disruption to these processes can have on body systems.

This module will develop students' understanding of the human body through regional cadaveric dissection. It will enhance their ability to recognise anatomical structures and integrate the anatomical and physiological principles associated with the upper limb, head and neck regions. This module offers a hands-on approach to learning anatomy and will provide students with an in-depth knowledge of body regions while continuing to develop their dissection and teamwork skills further following ANA-2

This module offers a unique opportunity for students to explore innovative approaches to anatomy teaching in higher education and establish their knowledge of educational pedagogy through a diverse range of teaching and learning activities. Opportunities to design and deliver teaching sessions for undergraduate science students will equip learners with skills that will be transferable to a wide range of future academic and scientific roles.

The module emphasises the importance of reflective and evidence-based practice for the development of innovative teaching strategies, comprehensive assessment tools, and effective feedback mechanisms. Unique opportunities for self- and peer-assessment and feedback will ensure students are prepared to adapt to future educational challenges. This module will serve to develop students' communication, reflection and critical thinking skills, preparing them for a career in the anatomical sciences and

This module is designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge necessary to create effective and innovative educational resources tailored for anatomy education. Students will learn to design and produce resources that are accurate, engaging, and pedagogically sound. Students will also develop their ability to align resources with curriculum goals, assess their effectiveness, and adapt them to diverse learning needs. This will prepare students to utilise cutting-edge tools to design and

This module introduces students to the complex special sensory systems (vision, hearing, taste, smell and balance) and integrates functional anatomy, neuroanatomy, physiology and pathology. Students will explore the effects of common pathologies of the special senses, enhancing their application of anatomy to practical scenarios. This module will also provide students with opportunities to consolidate their understanding of other body systems and improve their practical skills, particularly with

This module will allow students to integrate all aspects of their knowledge and understanding from the earlier years of the programme within the framework of a significant research project. Students will be involved in the design, planning, implementation and writing of a research idea of their choosing. Aligning with their experiences up to this point, students will have the opportunity to select a research area from a range of choices, including dissection-focused anatomical research, laborato

This module gives students interested in pursuing teaching or training as a career the opportunity to gain experience in the world of teaching in schools and colleges. You will develop skills highly valued by employers such as communication, and interpersonal skills, whilst learning to address individual needs and developing engaging teaching materials. You will be supported via a range of activities to prepare for your placement and have the choice to source your own placement or apply to unive

In a competitive job market, practical skills and understanding workplace dynamics are crucial. This module allows you to gain hands-on experience, enhance your employability skills, and provide valuable insights into the professional world. You will be supported via a range of activities to secure a role and can source your own placement or apply to university-sourced roles. This module has built-in flexibility on when and how you complete your placement around existing demands.
