Master of Science in Anatomical Sciences

About this programme

The Masters of Anatomical Sciences program is a 16-month (September to December of the following year) comprehensive program, preparing its students to be well equipped in both their anatomical knowledge, research experience and practice of teaching. This program is structured around three pillars of competency: content, pedagogy, and inquiry. This is done firstly through the study of the three tenets of anatomy (gross anatomy, histology, and neuroanatomy). Building upon this knowledge, students also get the opportunity to teach these topics to undergraduate students through both teaching assistant and lecture opportunities, as well as conduct a research project of their choosing. The Anatomical Sciences program is incredibly well-designed to offer students educational experiences outside of the traditional lecture. Anatomy courses, paired with dissection, teaching, and a thesis project, offer students countless ways to support and further their knowledge of anatomy and teaching. All the while, students are supported by caring faculty that truly want to see you succeed.
