I'm interested in furthering my studies in podiatry in the area of diabetology and wound management. Does anybody have a good recommendation of an institution or course? Would appreciate some information. At the moment, I'm looking at those offered by Glasgow Caledonian University, Queen Margaret University College and University of Salford. Comments / opinions for me?
You can "do" an MSc in Wound Healing and Tissue Repair at Cardiff Univeristy - if you Google the Wound Healing Research Unit you should be able to access most of the information you require re the course.
Like any MSc the course requires motivation and investment of your time and energies!
What I can say is that this appears to be one of the most "demanding" MSc courses but at least there are no exams - just lots of assignments - one per module and a piece of research
You can also "do" the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists Diabetic Foot Module - which if you submit the portfolio having done the course (and exam!) is worth 30 M level credits!
The Univeristy of Ulster have an MSc in Health Sciences - and you can choose the podiatry track - I know there are Modules on Vascular Disease and the Lower Limb, Diabetes and the foot and Clinical Diagnostic Testing and I believe in the future there may be a module on the renal foot
You have another option.
If you gained a 2.1 or 1st in your first degree you will be allowed access to pretty much any university in the UK to do either an MPhil or MSc by research.
On the one hand this widens your scope, and you may find a formal medical dept will suit your needs better than a podiatry dept.
On the other hand you need to be fairly familiar with your subject, and you must have the ability to carry out most of the work yourself. Research at this level is very different to carrying out a final year undergrad project, or a research topic which has been bolted onto a taught course.
