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.
Each year includes dissection of the human body, working in groups of about seven (subject to the availability of prepared cadavers) guided by a series of related lectures and practical sessions in the Human Anatomy Resource Centre.
Lectures are given by top scientists in fields such as human evolution, vertebrate morphology, stem cell and developmental biology, musculoskeletal biology and cardiovascular biology. This is supported with topics that include physiology, pharmacology, neuroscience and practical skills.
Year Three includes the opportunity for a practical research project in one of the internationally renowned research groups working within the research institutes that support the teaching on the degree programme.
Career prospects
As a Life Sciences graduate from the University of Liverpool, you will have an excellent set of career options ahead of you. For those committed to a career as a professional scientist, higher degrees (MBiolSci, MSc, MRes, MPhil or PhD) at the University of Liverpool or elsewhere provide a flexible set of options for further study.
In the public sector, Life Sciences graduates are in demand in research institutes, government departments, the National Health Service, forensic science and the Environment Agency. Commercial sectors that actively recruit graduates from the Life Sciences include the pharmaceutical, food, biotechnology, water and agriculture industries.
There is also an increasing demand for life scientists to contribute to the public understanding of science as journalists and information/liaison officers, in view of the ethical and environmental issues that arise, for example, by developments in molecular biology and biotechnology.
A number of routes are available for graduates to enter the teaching profession one of which is taking a postgraduate qualification (PGCE). There are significant financial inducements provided to meet the current demand for science teachers. In addition to all of the opportunities for graduates in general, including careers outside of biology (such as management, accountancy and human resources), where the skills you have obtained in our degree programmes will be of considerable benefit. Our degree programmes are also popular routes to postgraduate Medicine, Dentistry or Veterinary Science.
