Programme content
Orthopaedic medicine is embedded as the underpinning of musculoskeletal
medicine and therapy. The integration of the academic programme
with clinical experience will drive both professional development
and clinical enhancement in this field.
The programme will enable medical practitioners and physiotherapists
to develop mastery in the application and integration of orthopaedic
medicine into their clinical practice and to enhance the level of
patient care, particularly in the field of musculoskeletal medicine
and therapy.
The programme provides the opportunity for the experienced physiotherapist
or medical practitioner to develop clinical, research and other
relevant skills in relation to orthopaedic medicine.

The fee for the MSc programme is £3,625, plus an additional
£310 per option module undertaken. We keep our fees to an
absolute minimum to cover costs and do not make a profit from the
MSc programme. The £310 fee per option module represents a
subsidy from the SOM of more than 50% towards MSc students’
participation.

The MSc programme commences in September with enrolment at the
Archway Campus of Middlesex University which is immediately followed
