The University of Northumbria will no longer be running its MSc in Aesthetic Medicine, which first launched in 2016.
On the decision to stop the course, Andrea Slowly, PR and media manager at Northumbria, said, “Northumbria University worked with professional associations and aesthetic practitioners to develop an innovative three-year Master’s programme for nurses, doctors and dentists undertaking non-surgical aesthetic interventions. The course encompassed a postgraduate certificate achieved after year one; a postgraduate diploma achieved after year two and reached masters’ level for year three. Although student feedback has been positive, the numbers of students have decreased over the years.”
She continued, “The course was reviewed during this academic year as part of a broader exercise looking at our nursing, midwifery and health programmes. It was considered no longer viable to run due to small cohort numbers and a decision was made to gradually roll out the programme. We will continue to fully support existing students in their second and third years, but will no longer be recruiting new students.”
Delegates looking to complete a Master’s in aesthetic medicine in the UK can instead apply to Queen Mary University of London, University of Manchester and University of South Wales.
