The
Postgraduate Diploma/MSc programme is an inter-disciplinary, part-time, distance
learning course that is designed within a modular format. In order to ensure the
establishment of a sound academic and theoretical base, all modules will be
compulsory. |
"The MSc in Wound Healing and Tissue Repair is
ideally suited for surgical trainees with an interest in wound care,
mainly because of its part time and distance learning feature which
allows for simultaneous clinical practice and study for a higher
degree.".
Derek Mendonca (Current MSc Student)
Welsh Centre for Burns and Plastic Surgery |
The
scheme of study is divided into Parts 1 and 2.
Part 1
- Assessment of taught modules
Part 2
- Dissertation
The
taught component (Part 1) comprises of 8 modules, the associated coursework and
two 5-day study blocks. Each module consists of an 8-10 week period and is
divided into hours of taught learning directed by the module, and hours of
self-directed/additional study to enhance knowledge and to enable completion of
summative coursework. Online course material will cover all theoretical content
required to increase the knowledge base of the student. The timed period of
self-study will facilitate independent learning.
Modules will contain the following features:
-
interaction centred and structured according to students' needs;
-
self
assessment questions and responses throughout;
-
summaries for student reflection;
-
discussion forums linked to further reading;
-
information on requirements for study of particular modules, eg recommended
and further reading;
-
introductions that provide the overall learning outcomes for the module and
key areas that will be covered.
