Masters in Minimal Access Surgery
The MMAS programme will provide a robust and wide‐reaching education in both the theory and the practice of surgery as applied to minimal access techniques, together with focused training in bench-top and clinical research and associated methodology.
This is the only Masters programme in Scotland and one of very few in the UK, with a specific focus on minimal access techniques, and complements the activities of the Cuschieri Skills Centre.
Students will be guided to focus on a specific research module, which, after completion of a relevant literature review, will be carried out throughout the year.
Teaching will be through a combination of lectures, tutorials, discussion group work and journal clubs, self-directed study and supervised research, as well as supervised attendance at operating theatres.
There will be the opportunity for students to exit with a postgraduate certificate (60 credits) or a diploma in Minimal Access Surgery (120 credits).
Students will acquire skills in the following areas:
- Safe and effective techniques in minimal access surgery
- Surgical anatomy of abdomen and pelvis
- Application of technology and ergonomic principles in minimal access surgery
- Critical and analytical thinking
- Literature analysis and scientific writing
- Problem-solving
- Data analysis and interpretation
The course fee is £20,000 however there are Financial Hardship/Academic Merits Scholarships available up to a maximum of £5,000.
