Our Masters course is ideal for surgeons who wish to develop their expertise at postgraduate level. It's designed to fit flexibly around your career commitments through blended learning.

Our MCh Orthopaedics is a theoretical course which gives you the opportunity to build up the knowledge and theory necessary to underpin your practical skills in orthopaedics. It doesn't include hands-on clinical work as you’ll already be working in orthopaedics. It will, however, provide you with the in-depth theoretical knowledge to support your clinical practice.

There's a strong emphasis on the rationale behind patient management and you’ll hone your knowledge in order to improve service delivery and effect change in your workplace. Our blended learning approach allows you to complete this qualification as you continue to work.

Our course is designed by practising consultant surgeons, ensuring all elements are highly relevant for your career and clinical practice development. You’ll benefit from both face-to-face and distance learning modules. Our Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) allows you to study effectively from anywhere with an internet connection.
