This program teaches you how to read bodies, how to interpret the significance of variations in the form of the body and its parts in the context of forensic science, archeology, zoology, premedical states of health and disease, or sport.
It arrives at these outcomes through investigation of the development of body plans in embryos and through evolution, or the study of the advantages of particular body forms in different situations. A great deal of room is allowed within the program for choices according to individual interests and needs.
Level 1
Students choose one of four streams. Each stream includes a major sequence in anatomy & human biology and a complementary major sequence:
Level 2 and 3
In Levels 2 and 3 you will study aspects of the large scale structure, microscopic structure, reproductive biology, development and neuroscience of the human body, together with more advanced elements in the areas relevant to the streams you started at Level 1.

The depth of understanding of the relationship between structure and function developed in the course provides the science graduate with a sound knowledge of the human body and the skill to see the connections between diverse pieces of information.
It provides an exceptionally sound background for postgraduate medical or paramedical studies, or for research and practice in relation to forensics, archaeology, or sports science, including performance, training, injury and rehabilitation.
Graduates are likely to find careers as sports scientists, archaeologists, palaeontologists, museum workers, science educators, science journalists, biomedical researchers and (with further studies) forensic scientists, doctors, physiotherapists, chiropractors, occupational therapists, podiatrists or dentists.
