  • Experience hands-on training at an optional summer school consistent with your scope of practice
  • Gain research skills through independent study

What you'll study Opportunities for the training of military trauma care specialists are extremely limited, and many defence agencies rely on the deployment situation as the primary training for their personnel. This programme will help you to develop the skills needed in situations of dire emergency and global disaster. You can access the programme wherever you are, and you will have the option of a two-week residential summer school in London. The MSc is a collaboration between the Barts Centre for Trauma Sciences (C4TS) and Queen Mary University of London's Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry. You will have access to an international, expert faculty and innovative, technology-enhanced learning. You will take part in interactive discussion forums and one-to-one tutor sessions. You will also be offered an optional two-week residential summer school at the end of the first year in London. The summer school will give you simulated scenario training to complement your learning. You will gain practical knowledge and experience of decision-making so you can deliver safe, professional core clinical functions in the management of seriously injured patients. In your second year of study, you will write a dissertation on a specific area of knowledge, or you may undertake original research. Students* gave this programme a score of 94% for aspects of teaching and learning, and 100% for dissertation support and feedback. Students* gave this course a 100% overall satisfaction rating. *Students who completed the Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey (PTES) 2024 Additional costs You will be responsible for your travel, accommodation and subsistence costs for the summer school.
