MSc Medical Visualisation and Human Anatomy

Accredited by the Institute of Medical Illustrators, the MSc in Medical Visualisation and Human Anatomy is a one-year taught postgraduate programme offered by the School of Innovation and Technology at The Glasgow School of Art in collaboration with the Anatomy department in the School of Life Sciences, University of Glasgow.
The course presents a unique opportunity to combine actual cadaveric dissection with 3D digital reconstruction, interaction, visualisation and medical illustration using state of the art virtual reality facilities. It allows students to examine human anatomy, and to reconstruct it in a real-time 3D environment for use in education, simulation, and training. This Masters programme provides an ideal opportunity for enhancement of research into human anatomy, diagnostics, simulation, and visualisation
