Minor

Anatomy and histology is the study of the structure of living things. Your introduction to the area is through the study of cell structure (histology) and the basic tissue of mammalian biology and musculo-skeletal anatomy. In senior year we divide your studies into four disciplines. You will study topographical anatomy (bones, muscles, nerves, arteries,veins); neuroanatomy (anatomy and organisation of the nervous system); histology (microscopic anatomy of cells and tissues) and embryology (development of an embryo from fertilisation to fetus stage). Dissection plays a part.

Graduate opportunities

You will benefit from the industry-oriented science-based education, which will prepare you for a career in a wide variety of veterinary and animal science industries.
