Musculoskeletal Science and Medical Engineering MSc

Modern healthcare-related careers need to embrace the advancement in treatment and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal disorders. Many of the current NICE guidelines promote early diagnosis, monitoring and early intervention, and recommend that healthcare professionals practise these techniques. There is also an increasing drive towards technology-based healthcare to improve patient outcomes and offer better value.

Our programme gives you the ideal preparation for this environment, supporting the unique combination of science, practice, and innovation you will need in this fast-moving, highly competitive discipline. You will learn to treat patients with musculoskeletal disorders such as arthritis, osteoporosis, trauma, fracture, bone cancer, and spinal disorders. You will also develop your scientific knowledge, and enhance your research skills in areas such as orthopaedic bioengineering, musculoskeletal tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

This programme runs at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital Stanmore which is a world-leading tertiary referral centre and is delivered by experts and consultants attached to Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, where complex orthopaedic cases are referred. This means you will learn alongside renowned medical experts, including surgeons, academic professionals, biomedical scientists, tissue biologists and physiotherapists, and gain an unparalleled grounding in this field.
