What you’ll study
The Graduate Certificate in Surgical Sciences requires the completion of 24 credit points of surgery selective units of study. Refer to the table of units Surgical Sciences for the unit of study options in the degree.

They would also have the option of applying their 24 credit points towards the Master of Surgery in place of the Graduate Certificate in Surgical Sciences.
The majority of our units are taught online and some have a short workshop component (1 or 2 day).
