Anatomy Club!

They say that anatomy is a dying art – but not at Loughborough college!  This year a group of A-level students had the chance to get stuck in and experience some old fashioned anatomy teaching as part of a newly formed anatomy club.

The human body is an amazing object - a product of millions of years of evolutionary advances.  Knowledge of basic human anatomy provides an excellent way of trying to understand how our bodies work, as well as giving a head start to students wishing to study human biology as part of a science or medical degree.

The anatomy club enabled students to explore the structure of the human body in a practical and interactive way, utilising drawings, models and organ dissection, as well as the anatomical knowledge of the biology tutor!

Furthermore, by participating in the anatomy club these students now have something that would be an excellent addition to any UCAS application personal statement as well as have an interesting talking point for university interviews!
