Postgraduate Programmes in Clinical Anatomy (subject to final approval)


This new programme aims to provide students with a greater understanding of advanced human anatomy including appropriate radiological anatomy, microscopic anatomy and embryology. The modules presented will emphasise clinically and surgically relevant anatomy, although they are not designed exclusively for clinicians, and applications are invited from any students who have studied some basic anatomy within their first degree.

Students will have access to human cadaveric teaching material in a purpose-built facility licensed by the Human Tissue Authority. Teaching will be based in the Centre for Biomedical Sciences Education, whose staff have won seven Queen’s University Teaching Awards in recent years

As well as a full Masters degree in Clinical Anatomy, PG Certificate and PG Diploma awards are also offered for those who have less time or wish only to study certain aspects of human anatomy.

  • Duration:        Both full-time and part-time.  It is planned to be able to offer weekend and evening teaching and possibly include several intense bursts of sustained contact at certain times of the year.
