Otago is the only university in New Zealand that offers a Bachelor's Degree in Anatomy.
The papers we offer cover clinical and functional anatomy, neuroscience, developmental and reproductive biology and biological anthropology.
The 100- and 200-level papers are designed to give you a broad and comprehensive grounding in modern Anatomy, while the 300-level papers allow you the opportunity to specialise in areas of interest.
Over the course of your degree you'll learn:
- How the body develops from just a single cell to an individual with millions of cells organised into many different tissues and organ systems.
- How our brains control what we think, how we feel, and what we do.
- What changes occur when we develop and how fetal damage can have an impact on the mature nervous system.
- How the reproductive system functions.
- How the structure of muscles are related to their function
- How to analyse, interpret and discuss relevant contemporary anatomical research and much much more...
If you incorporate biological anthropology into your degree you'll also learn things like:
- How you tell the age a person was when they died, just by looking at their bones.
- How the health, genetic and cultural history of people living thousands of years ago has influenced the distribution of modern diseases.
- How biology, culture, and history are intertwined and relate to the human diversity we see in New Zealand and globally today.
