Anatomy and histology explores biological structures, beginning with cellular composition (histology) and fundamental mammalian tissues. Advanced studies cover four key areas: topographical anatomy (focusing on bones and vascular systems), neuroanatomy (nervous system structure), microscopic tissue analysis, and embryonic development. Practical dissection forms part of the curriculum.

Anatomy and histology specialists find opportunities in academic institutions, research organizations like CSIRO, healthcare settings, and diagnostic labs, frequently specializing in advanced microscopy techniques. Alumni have also pursued careers in education and scientific instrumentation.
