A successful MSc in Surgical Science has been running at UCL for nearly 20 years.  The course is managed by the Division of Surgery & Interventional Science from the Royal Free Campus, UCL.  The MSc is open to all surgical trainees (e.g. with 2-3 years training) and recent medical graduates; the course is also appropriate for veterinary and dental graduates.  It can be undertaken full-time (in one year), part-time (over two years) or flexible (for up to 5 years).  The MSc in Surgical & Interventional Sciences course is updated continuously to reflect pivotal changes in overall training objectives and to keep pace with innovations in both surgical and scientific research.  The emphasis of the MSc concerns (i) surgical skills training (two specialized ‘hands-on’ modules, Robotics Surgical Skills and Microsurgical Skills) and (ii), an original research project (clinical or laboratory-based).  The course also offers a large and diverse range of optional modules (>12) covering Nanotechnology, Tissue Engineering, Oncology and Musculoskeletal (MSK) Function and Disease all of which contribute to the flexibility and attractiveness of the course.  The ethos of the MSc is to provide graduate teaching and research opportunities to enable career progression of junior trainees with the aims: 1.     To provide surgical ‘hands-on’ skills at Master’s level 2.     To introduce in-depth scientific thinking, knowledge and practice as applied to surgery 3.     To equip trainees with critical, analytical thinking A successful MSc in Surgical Science has been running at UCL for nearly 20 years.  The course is managed by the Division of Surgery & Interventional Science from the Royal Free Campus, UCL.  The MSc is open to all surgical trainees (e.g. with 2-3 years training) and recent medical graduates; the course is also appropriate for veterinary and dental graduates.  It can be undertaken full-time (in one year), part-time (over two years) or flexible (for up to 5 years).  The MSc in Surgical & Interventional Sciences course is updated continuously to reflect pivotal changes in overall training objectives and to keep pace with innovations in both surgical and scientific research.  The emphasis of the MSc concerns (i) surgical skills training (two specialized ‘hands-on’ modules, Robotics Surgical Skills and Microsurgical Skills) and (ii), an original research project (clinical or laboratory-based).  The course also offers a large and diverse range of optional modules (>12) covering Nanotechnology, Tissue Engineering, Oncology and Musculoskeletal (MSK) Function and Disease all of which contribute to the flexibility and attractiveness of the course.  The ethos of the MSc is to provide graduate teaching and research opportunities to enable career progression of junior trainees with the aims: 1.     To provide surgical ‘hands-on’ skills at Master’s level 2.     To introduce in-depth scientific thinking, knowledge and practice as applied to surgery 3.     To equip trainees with critical, analytical thinking
