Overview

Our Laparoscopic Surgery and Surgical Skills MSc programme offered at Queen Mary University of London provides you with a unique opportunity to practice and perfect laparoscopic technical skills in the low-stress, high-feedback environment of our Virtual Reality Surgical Simulation Centre.

Laparoscopic surgery is a technically demanding area of medicine and few people have the necessary expertise to work in this area. This course allows you to learn complex skills that are in high demand.

Key facts

You’ll gain all the training you need to meet the standards set by the Association of Laparoscopic Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland to obtain your LapPass (the ‘Laparoscopic Passport’). Gaining a LapPass means you’ll have a benchmark qualification that recognises your laparoscopic skills in a simulated environment.

As well as these practical skills, you’ll gain a clear understanding of the research process, including critical appraisal and how to present work for publication.

You’ll also have the opportunity to attend an international surgical conference and meet surgeons and surgical reps.

In addition, you’ll be able to observe in wards, clinics and in the operating theatre. This offers you a good opportunity to gain an understanding of medical and surgical practice in the NHS.

Career paths

You’ll leave this programme able to apply for the LapPass – the Laparoscopic Passport from the Association of Laparoscopic Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland.

The technical skills you gain on this programme will accelerate your surgical training and significantly enhance your career prospects.

You’ll also gain the clinical skills and experience necessary to pursue further academic research at PhD or MD level.
