How you'll learn
The programme is primarily delivered online, with one on-campus teaching week per semester.
Online study will comprise a mix of e-lectures, live seminars, independent work and assessment activity. There is typically around three hours of e-lectures per week which includes watching videos and completing directed tasks. Online seminars are learner-led discussions, typically for two hours per week. Live seminars will be scheduled at the same times each week to help you plan part-time study around your other commitments.
The on-campus weeks are a highlight of the programme, bringing learners together for an intensive week of practical, interactive and collaborative sessions. These will involve dissections and cadaveric examinations of different specimens in small groups. Teaching is led by expert anatomists and clinicians and includes opportunities for peer-to-peer teaching. Educational workshops, assessment activities and networking events complete the timetable for each of the on-campus weeks.
How you're assessed
You’ll be assessed through a combination of written assignments, presentations, spotter-style exams, self-reflection, and the creation of educational resources.
Spotter-style exams are an authentic and traditional assessment that enable you to demonstrate expertise in anatomy and its application to different scenarios.
The range of assessments are designed to build confidence, digital fluency and communication skills.
