Orthopaedic Science MSc

Science and technology are integral to the treatment of patients in orthopedics and rehabilitation. This course will give you a strong and wide-ranging understanding of the fundamental physical sciences relating to orthopedic surgery, as well as developing your knowledge of modern treatment options for patients. You'll start by exploring the basic scientific principles supporting orthopedic sciences. This includes rigid body mechanics and structural mechanics, which will give you an understanding of the basic mathematics and mechanics of motion and forces. Later in the course, you will be introduced to statistics and learn how to record and interpret data related to orthopedic science. Once you've covered the basics, you'll focus on biomechanics, covering skeletal and tissue mechanics, and you'll learn how these can be measured to identify and quantify disorders.

Applicants should be Specialist Registrars or equivalent in orthopaedic surgery qualified to MBChB or equivalent plus MRCS or equivalent. You will need to submit an up to date CV and two clinical references at the time of application
