Overview

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.

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:
