What will you study?
You will learn a variety of aspects, from anatomy to human development and the ageing process. You will explore systems and structures of bodily function, along with physical responses and dysfunction, using pictures generated by non-invasive imaging methods (such as radiography, computerised tomography, ultraasound and magnetic resonance imaging). You will also be required to dissect small aniimals and human cadavers in the course.

If you wish to specialise, you will need another four years of study and training, on average.
Prerequisites
You will need excellent grades all around, particularly in biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics.
What do graduates do?
