I applied for Bris... but it has horse stuff in the course and so isn't just strictly human. I have completed a degree in Anatomical Sciences at Cardiff and absolutely loved it. Of course there is a overlap in the first year with Biochem and physiology degrees... but from the 2nd year it is purely anatomy (of the whole body) neuroanat, development, cell biology and research modules. I thought the whole course was fantastic, and although the first year dragged, I enjoyed every bit. At Cardiff there are only approx 12 places, but a lot of people apply, like you, as their 5th 6th choices. This is a great shame as its a fab course on its own - and you have seminar based learning which means that the lecturers know you personally, which really makes a difference to your progress (and for future ref's etc).

If you need to check this out email the admission tutor

Dr Alvin Kwan kwanap@cardiff.ac.uk

or you can PM me. I help Dr Kwan with the open days at Cardiff so I can answer some of your q's if you would like.

HTH

This might be a bit late, but human biology is a good option for GEP.

No idea what your email says, but the link got blocked by my work security wall as porn.

re

Ah, Dr. Kwan, now that's a name I've not heard (or read) in a long time! He kindly offered me a place on the anatomical sciences programme a few years ago, but I found myself migrating away from the pre-clinical science courses, in the direction of clinical microbiology. Despite currently reading med. micro., I am lured to medicine once again to pursue this field further, OR embark upon a career in histopathology (possibly) which I enjoy immensely. Spending 3-months shadowing pathologists and the mortuary technicians kind of leaves a lasting impression.
