Burns, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery MSc

UCL (University College London)

Gain core knowledge and understanding of the latest plastic and reconstructive surgical techniques on this highly innovative MSc, the only programme in burns, plastic, and reconstructive surgery currently available. Work with the latest technologies, learn from world-leading experts, and emerge with the sought-after skills and translations knowledge to carry out your own clinically applied research. The programme is designed to give you a robust understanding of the fundamentals of scientific and clinical research within plastic and reconstructive surgery. You will develop laboratory, critical analysis, and synthetic research skills to take forward into your career and gain an in-depth understanding of the clinical needs of patients requiring this speciality. The core curriculum includes burns, military, and reconstructive plastic surgery, and will give you an insight into the unmet needs of reconstructive patients. Depending on your choice of optional modules, you can follow a science-based route with interdisciplinary subjects such as tissue engineering, biomaterials, and the application of stem cells. Alternatively, you can focus on clinical skills modules such as microsurgery, robotics skills and evidence-based systematic reviews. An in-depth research project is an integral component of the programme, and you will have the opportunity to investigate cutting-edge projects, opening up opportunities for further research and publications. This programme is aimed at trainee plastic surgeons (FY 1/2 core surgical), clinicians and scientists who wish to specialise in plastic and reconstructive surgery, as well as healthcare professionals. We are unable to consider applications for intercalated study. This programme is also available on a modular (flexible) basis, with a duration of 5 calendar years.
