Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Laws - Anatomy and Histology

The University of Sydney

Anatomy and histology is the study of the structure of living things. Your introduction to the area is through the study of cell structure (histology) and the basic tissue of mammalian biology and musculo-skeletal anatomy. In senior year we divide your studies into four disciplines. You will study topographical anatomy (bones, muscles, nerves, arteries, veins) neuroanatomy (anatomy and organisation of the nervous system) histology (microscopic anatomy of cells and tissues) and embryology (development of an embryo from fertilisation to foetus stage). Dissection plays a part.The Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Laws is an combined undergraduate coursework degree that provides a pathway to legal practice. The degree will provide essential knowledge in the fundamental sciences which then progresses as you specialise in your chosen stream. It hones your analytical skills to think independently and to form and articulate factual and legal analysis based on argument and evidence, and to solve multi-faceted problems.You will study degree core and junior elective units in addition to a major or program from the Science disciplinary pool concurrently with Bachelor of Laws junior core requirements. You will also complete units from the Open Learning Environment, and any elective units as needed to make up the requirements of the course from the disciplinary pool or the shared pool.After meeting the requirements of the Bachelor of Science, you will progress to the Bachelor of Laws, completing a number of senior core and elective units from the Sydney Law School Undergraduate Table, in a specific sequence.The elective units will include at least one jurisprudence elective, and in your final year of the Bachelor of Laws you will have the option to complete advanced coursework and an honours thesis.Anatomy and histology is the study of the structure of living things.

Science graduates who major in anatomy and histology are employed in universities, the CSIRO, hospitals and pathology laboratories, often specialising in electron microscopy or histochemistry. Recent graduates have also become teachers or are employed in the scientific equipment industry.
