The inception of the Masters in Wound Healing and Tissue Repair was, and remains unique, as there are few others of its kind. Originally introduced in 1996 as a Postgraduate Diploma in Wound Healing and Tissue Repair, the course has met the needs of a professional group of individuals working in a speciality which previously had no specific professional award particularly at this level of study. In 1999 the course was extended to offer a Masters level award. The structure of the MSc is:
