Course content

Our degrees in Surgical Innovation provide a solid academic foundation of both clinical and non-clinical topics relevant to modern surgical trainees, members of the multi-disciplinary team and those interested in surgery as a field of study.

There is a strong emphasis on how surgery has radically changed and will continue to advance in the twenty-first century.

The modular nature of our course allows it to be tailored to the unique needs of individual students, with the following options to choose from:

• Postgraduate Certificate
• Postgraduate Diploma (clinical option)
• MSc in Surgical Innovation (clinical option)

You will be equipped with key surgical skills in education, leadership and safety, quality and technological innovation in the current NHS environment and the clinical speciality streams are in line with the current trend in surgical subspecialisation.

The MSc option will provide a research experience that, together with the chosen taught modules, will serve as a solid foundation for further academic progression.

The programme will promote world class scholarship, education and research in the field of surgery and allied health professions, fostering interdisciplinary working.

The modular structure of the programme aligns well with the Intercollegiate Surgical Curriculum, offering you the opportunity to gain specific qualifications in topics relevant to your special interest, exposing you to key non-clinical skills, as well as concepts and techniques in surgical research.
