Master in Medical Science (Endovascular Surgery)
Postgraduate Diploma in Medical Science
(Endovascular Surgery)

These programmes of study combine specialist endovascular surgical training with evidence-based medical research skills. Specialist endovascular training is provided under the guidance of vascular surgeons from the Western Vascular Institute. The curriculum is taught through hands-on, supervised training, and supervised sessions in the endovascular surgery teaching lab, and weekly scheduled educational meetings.

Candidates will apply knowledge and skills to search for and critically appraise scientific evidence to answer researchable clinical questions, to submit a research proposal and to complete this proposal through a research thesis in endovascular surgery.

An approved research protocol is the outcome of the first year (Diploma) and leads to a final research thesis about a scientific topic of your own interest during the second year (Masters). "What you learn today is of use tomorrow" is our motto.
