What you'll study
Most young trauma patients have injuries which are survivable if they can receive appropriate medical treatment in time. In London, we are at the forefront of trauma care, and you can develop your skills to help patients have the best possible outcome.
You can access the programme wherever you are, and you will have the option of a two-week residential summer school in London. The MSc is a collaboration between the Barts Centre for Trauma Sciences (C4TS) and Queen Mary University of London's Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry.
You will have access to an international, expert faculty and innovative, technology-enhanced learning. You will take part in interactive discussion forums and one-to-one tutor sessions.
The optional two-week residential summer school takes place at the end of the first year in London. The summer school will give you simulated scenario training to complement your learning. You will gain practical knowledge and experience of decision-making so you can deliver safe, professional core clinical functions in the management of seriously injured patients. In your second year of study, you will write a dissertation on a specific area of knowledge, or you may undertake original research.
Students gave this programme a score of 94% for aspects of teaching and learning, and 100% for dissertation support and feedback. Students gave this course a 100% overall satisfaction rating.
