Medical Visualisation and Human Anatomy

PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

Your time is split between The Glasgow School of Art (School of Simulation and Visualisation) at Pacific Quay in the City Centre and The University of Glasgow (Anatomy Facility), Gilmorehill Campus in the west end.

The programme is structured into three compulsory stages: Stage 1: digital technologies applied to medical visualisation (at The School of Simulation and Visualisation) Stage 2: human anatomy (Anatomy facility at The University of Glasgow) Stage 3: self-directed final project, supported throughout with individual supervision

Stage 1 Academic Skills for Masters Research Medical Visualisation

Stage 2 Introduction to anatomy Structure and function of the human body Cadaveric dissection techniques

Stage 3 Research Project

In stage three you will complete a self-directed final project, supported throughout with individual supervision. See course page for past projects.

Utilising tools like 3D visualisation, augmented and virtual reality, confocal microscopy, animations, cross platform apps and interactive educational tools. Working with active researchers and subject specialists across such a diverse range of areas, these projects undertaken in the last third of the degree offer an opportunity to engage much more deeply with educational and research activities from a chosen speciality. All students have two supervisors – one from the College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences and one from The School of Simulation and Visualisation of The Glasgow School of Art. This offers subject specialists to facilitate your development as an independent researcher developing digital tools and technologies within your chosen domain.
