Students who graduate from Anatomy and Histology will be able to:
| No. | Learning outcome |
|---|---|
| 1 | Exhibit a broad and coherent body of knowledge of the fundamental organisation and development of the human body from its gross structure to the cellular and intracellular levels. |
| 2 | Integrate deep knowledge of the fundamental functional properties of the body and relate these to structural properties and developmental processes. |
| 3 | Use a range of histological and anatomical methodologies and explain current investigative and experimental approaches including “state-of-the-art” techniques. |
| 4 | Source, collate, synthesise and critically evaluate information in anatomical sciences, histology, cell biology and neurobiology, from a range of relevant sources. |
| 5 | Communicate concepts and findings in anatomy and histology through a range of modes for a variety of purposes and audiences, using evidence-based arguments that are robust to critique. |
| 6 | Relate and apply knowledge of the structural organisation and functional properties of the human body to other biomedical and biological disciplines, as well as anthropological and clinical disciplines. |
| 7 | Identify research questions, design research plans and carry out experiments that address and test hypotheses in anatomy and histology, including analysing and interpreting primary research data. |
| 8 | Develop creative and innovative approaches to problem solving in the field of anatomy and histology research and work effectively, responsibly and safely in individual and collaborative contexts. |
| 9 | Address authentic problems in anatomy and history, working professionally and ethically within collaborative, interdisciplinary teams. |
| 10 | Evaluate the importance of anatomical investigation and knowledge in community and society, its medical, educational, social and global importance, uses and potential abuses. |
| 11 | Appraise the framework for body donation and the moral, ethical and legal responsibilities entailed. |
