BMSc Applied Orthopaedic Technology Intercalated

University of Dundee

Course overview

With an intercalated degree, students can spend a year studying a topic of interest, allowing them to become more informed about different options for their career post-graduation, gain new transferable skills, including research skills and get a deeper insight into a subject area that interests them.

Orthopaedics is a vast field in medicine, and central to the treatment of patients in this area has been the technology behind many orthopaedic innovations.  This rapid development has considerable implications for those working in the fields of orthopaedics, biomechanics, sports, and rehabilitation.

 

Students will understand the principles involved in the development and application of orthopaedic technology, orthopaedic biomechanics, and sports biomechanics. Many of our students have had the opportunity to present their research at conferences or have it published in peer-reviewed journals.
