ANAT3888: Anatomy and Histology Projects
2025 unit information
Our ever-changing world requires knowledge that extends across multiple disciplines. The ability to identify and explore interdisciplinary links is a crucial skill for emerging professionals and researchers alike. This unit presents the opportunity to bring together the concepts and skills you have learnt in your discipline and apply them to a real-world problem. Each year a project where you will use your anatomy skills will be offered, examples may include working on a project that investigates application of anatomy knowledge in public outreach, health education, and the ethical display of anatomical artefacts. In this unit, you will continue to understand and explore disciplinary knowledge, while also meeting and collaborating with academics from across the University through project-based learning; identifying and solving problems, collecting and analysing data and communicating your findings to a diverse audience. All of these skills are highly valued by employers. This unit will foster the ability to work in interdisciplinary teams, and this is essential for both professional and research pathways in the future.
