Aesthetic Medicine Online MSc

You will gain a thorough theoretical training in aesthetic medicine, with a particular focus on non-operative techniques. Explore the science and principles behind sought-after procedures, including botulinum toxin injections, dermal fillers, and laser treatments, while covering patient psychology and the medicolegal aspects of treatments. You will critically discuss the challenges associated with assessing risk in patients and gain a detailed knowledge of the application of consent and ethical practice in aesthetic medicine, and of key laser and injectables techniques. You will also gain insight into the regulatory environment and learn about practice management essentials such as clinic setup, branding, and marketing strategies.

This programme specifically focuses on complementing your existing practical skills with knowledge on key issues in the aesthetic medicine profession, as well as evaluation and self-appraisal, and autonomy in the planning and management of learning. As such, the information covered is designed for you to develop an improved theoretical understanding of procedures, patient management, and key issues, rather than explicit practical training in aesthetic medicine techniques.

We have a large number of specialists teaching on the course, and many are world leaders in their fields. These include academics from other institutions, clinicians, and specialists from the medical industry.

Through interactive webinars and online lectures, videos and literature, you will gain confidence in a number of skills including evaluation and self-appraisal, and autonomy in the planning and management of learning. You also have the chance to put your learning to the test via optional simulation training.
