Study with uscombines knowledge of the engineering and medical sciences with advances in technology and practice to generate applications and solutions to clinically relevant problemsundertake a clinically-relevant project in the rehabilitation area of prosthetics andor orthoticsdevelop your career as a health professionalexperience laboratory demonstrations, practical exercises and clinical visitsgain a Masters-level degree in this clinical area, while considering globally the effects of disability within a population and society’s approaches globallyone of only two UK universities offering training in prosthetics and orthoticsWhy this courseThe MSc Prosthetics & Orthotics is one of the few programmes globally that offers a specific degree in prosthetics and orthotics. The National Centre for Prosthetics and Orthotics (NCPO), within the Department of Biomedical Engineering, has an international reputation for quality education within this field. Staff of the NCPO is involved in research and clinical practice both nationally and internationally.The course aims to produce postgraduates with a first degree to be in Prosthetics & Orthotics, who are capable of developing careers in allied health professions and biomedical engineering (research, industrial and NHS).Our learning environment brings together ideas and concepts from science, medicine and engineering to enable the development of relevant clinical and industrial research. You'll also benefit from the opportunity to meet our many industrial and clinical collaborators to help advise and further your career.What you'll studyTaught classes, laboratory demonstrations, practical exercises and clinical visits take place during Semesters 1 and 2. MSc students complete a research or development project reported by a thesis.Work placementVisits to local clinical centres and lectures from industrialists and visiting experts from the UK and overseas are an integral part of our courses.You'll also have the opportunity to meet our many industrial and clinical collaborators to help advise and further your career.Major projectsYou'll undertake a clinically-relevant project in the rehabilitation area of prosthetics andor orthotics. The project provides an opportunity for you to experience the challenges and rewards of sustained, independent study in a topic of your own choice in the general field of prosthetics and orthotics.It will involve you in a number of processes which include justification of the selected topic; selecting, devising and applying appropriate methods and techniques; anticipating and solving problems which arise; displaying knowledge of background literature; and evaluating and reporting the conclusions of the study. The project may take the form of an extended literature review or involve experimental work. This project work will have been supported by a compulsory research methods module and specialist knowledge classes throughout the year designed to assist with technical aspects of methodology and analysis.
