The MSc Medical Visualisation and Human Anatomy is a 12-month postgraduate programme offered byThe Glasgow School of Art in collaboration with the Anatomy Facility in theSchool of Medicine, Dentistry and Nursing at the University of Glasgow.

This programme is accredited by the Institute of Medical Illustrators.

 The course provides an ideal opportunity for enhancement of research into human anatomy, diagnostics, medical communication and education, simulation, and visualisation. You will split your time equally between two top-ranked institutions, being in direct contact with experienced creative technologists, researchers and anatomists. Your training will focus on two key areas – digital anatomical reconstruction and 3D interactive technologies applied to medical visualisation, and practical human anatomy. 

This programme is accessible to applicants with a good Honours degree or equivalent in life sciences, medical or biomedical sciences; computer sciences, biomedical engineering, health informatics, medical illustration, 3D design, product design, digital media, digital arts, 3D modelling and animation, or equivalent professional practice.

High calibre graduates from other disciplines may be considered if they are able to demonstrate an interest and ability in the field of medical visualisation.

Our Approach

This programme offers the opportunity to develop a solid technical skillset through studio-based practice focused on volumetric visualisation, interactive development and 3D modelling and animation techniques. It also provides a strong theoretical and practical knowledge in human anatomy.

The programme is structured in three stages: medical Visualisation, human anatomy, and self-directed research under the supervision of experienced creative technologists, researchers and anatomists.
