BSc Anatomical Sciences with a Modern Language course will enable you to develop your language skills while studying the structure and form of different organisms, including humans, and the relationships between their parts. You will study structure - from the whole human body to the tissue, cellular and sub-cellular level - and relate this to function in the adult and during embryonic development. We offer French, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese and Mandarin for the language component of the course, which includes a year abroad on a research placement. Our course has Advanced Accreditation from the  Royal Society of Biology, which recognises academic excellence in the biosciences and highlights degrees that educate the research and development leaders and innovators of the future. The course consists of two-thirds of biological sciences learning and one-third modern language learning. You will learn your modern language alongside other students taking a variety of language degrees at the University. Assessment methods vary widely to suit the nature of the course unit and each level of study. Lecture units are usually assessed by written exam (multiple choice or essay-based), which are held at the end of an academic semester in either January or May/June. Field courses are usually assessed via oral and written presentations, group work and/or projects. Practical units are usually assessed by experimental report and/or short written assignment and/or written exam. The proportion of independent study assignments increases during each year of study.
