Learning and approach

Study human anatomical specimens and practise dissection or suturing on animal tissue under supervision.

What to expect in the anatomy lab

CASP distinguishes human specimen observation from skills practice on animal tissue, demonstrations and career conversations. The programme flags potentially sensitive material and notes that visiting specialties depend on faculty availability.

Eligibility and international applicants

Students must be at least 15 on the first day and arrange their own daily travel and accommodation.

The specific international pathway still needs confirmation. Do not assume eligibility for Chinese applicants.

HANLIN EDITORIAL GUIDANCE

Fit and preparation

Review how human specimens are used and organise daily transport to campus.

Try this before you apply

Use a shoulder diagram to explain how two structures work together. If specimen observation concerns you, identify which part and ask the programme before deciding.
