Program details
Overview
Orthotics and prosthetics sit at the intersection of medicine, health care and rehabilitation, combining medical and health science knowledge with engineering and technology to treat conditions that cause physical dysfunction. This master's programme equips students with the skills, knowledge and research methodology needed to work professionally in the health sciences sector, with learning brought together in a dissertation that lets students contribute their own research to the field.
Delivered part-time by day over six semesters for a total of 90 ECTS credits and combining taught study with research, the course addresses a specialised area of rehabilitation medicine where qualified professionals are in short supply, both locally and abroad. Graduates can apply for registration to practise in the orthotics and prosthetics field.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: UM applies course-specific entry requirements under its regulations and bye-laws. Local applicants are assessed on qualifications such as the Matriculation Certificate, International Baccalaureate, or European Baccalaureate; international applicants hold overseas qualifications evaluated individually for comparability with UM's standards, with no extra requirements beyond the course's own criteria. MATSEC-qualification applicants must apply as soon as they receive their first result slip after the May/June session; students sitting September resits should apply by the course's first deadline rather than waiting on resit results. After evaluation, the Office of the Registrar issues a decision letter. Admission may also be granted via Recognition and Accreditation of Prior Learning (RPL) for undergraduate and taught postgraduate courses.
