Faculty of Life and Physical Sciences

Postgraduate studies in this area are offered by the School of Anatomy and Human Biology.

The School of Anatomy and Human Biology offers high quality research programs in neuroscience, reproduction, regeneration, immunology, evolutionary biology and human morphology, all led by scientists of international standing.  Its state-of-the-art anatomical teaching and research facilities are the most sophisticated in Australia, and are linked directly with the Clinical Training and Education Centre (CTEC). The School’s SymbioticA is an internationally recognised laboratory that focuses on the Science-Art interface.

Students can choose from a range of flexible graduate degree structures tailored to meet their specific needs. One specialist degree is the recently established Graduate Diploma in Surgical Anatomy, which provides advanced training for surgical trainees and anatomy teachers. 

Biomedical research and education, hospital-based specialties, and administrative and business-related areas of the health industry are some of the fields in which graduates can expect to find career opportunities.  Postgraduate studies in Anatomical Sciences will prepare those interested in either teaching medical, dental and science students, or enhancing their existing skills.
