The Centre for Anatomical and Human Sciences brings together research and teaching in anatomical and human sciences. Like HYMS, our parent organisation, we have strong working relationships with colleagues at the Universities of York and Hull. Thus, at Hull, we engage in cutting edge research in musculoskeletal biomechanics with our collaborators in the Centre for Medical Engineering Technology, and at York we are founding members of the Centre for Human Palaeoecology and Evolutionary Origins, one of the largest such groupings in the UK.
Our teaching reflects our focus on human anatomy and evolution. We deliver extensive undergraduate teaching to our medical students, in both core medical anatomy and specialist areas such as human evolution and evolutionary medicine. We also teach human and primate evolution to undergraduates outside the medical school.
At postgraduate levels we offer MSc programmes, both taught and by research, as well as doctoral training in our fields of expertise. We also run a series of short courses in specialist and applied areas of anatomy and anatomical science.
