Profile
Medical art is a broad term that encompasses any type of art that is used in the field of medicine. It encompasses a wide range of applications such as:
- patient communication and information
- medical teaching and training
Medical art is also used by the pharmaceutical industry to help explain their products. It is also used in the courtroom to help lay jury members understand complex topics. Medical artists produce work in a wide range of media such as:
- traditional illustrations
- interactive 3D models
- animations
There are many reasons why you should study MSc Medical Art at the University of Dundee.
This course is accredited by the Institute of Medical Illustrators. The course offers a strong foundation in skills such as:

The course is taught by highly specialised tutors from scientific backgrounds. You will also be taught by experienced medical art supervisors. Our staff work closely with bodies such as:

You’ll have access to both our art school and our medical science facilities. You will learn anatomy from Thiel embalmed cadavers and prosections. These cadavers are soft-fix. This means that they retain real-to-life qualities, including realistic colour, tissue quality and flexibility.
