New Program:
The Master of Science degree in Surgical and Interventional Sciences; Thesis – Otolaryngology provides training in clinical or basic science research in otolaryngology, head, and neck surgery. The program focuses on normal function and disease of head and neck structures: otology, neurootology, laryngology, rhinology, oncology, surgery, auditory-vestibular sciences, middle-ear modelling, oto-toxicity, genomics, infection, thyroid disease, or genetics. The thesis must focus on otolaryngology related to surgical and interventional sciences.
