Individual Studies in Anthropology (ANTH0036)

Module Content

The course is designed to provide you with the knowledge and skills to identify, design and carry out a small research project of your own and to write it up in the form of a dissertation. Projects are usually library based, though with the agreement of staff they may be derived from empirical investigation (fieldwork).

As well as assessing your analytic and creative abilities, the course is intended to enhance your ability to work independently and to a deadline, and to develop the necessary skills to present your research to the class through use of presentation software technology (PowerPoint, etc.).

The module is suitable for surgeons (non-surgeons would require special permission from the module and programme lead to access this module). It will cover skills required for students (surgeons) to understand and apply facial aesthetic surgery techniques including their limitations, complications, and assessment. Students will learn how to clinically assess and analyse nasal defects, ear deformities and features of physiological aging of the face, brow, neck, and peri-orbital region. In addition, students will be able to make a surgical plan, counsel and consent patients for facial surgical procedures and recognise and counsel unrealistic patients.   

Principles of surgical follow-up, measuring outcome in aesthetic surgery, the management of surgical complications and dissatisfied patients and an overview of record making (including photographs) will also be covered in this module. In addition, students will acquire the skills to manage appearance, function, and emotion within a facial aesthetic wholistic programme. There will also be an opportunity for students to perform surgical aesthetic procedures in a simulated environment.
