Division of Surgery and Interventional Science

Welcome to the Division

The Division of Surgery and Interventional Science is part of the most prestigious medical schools in Europe, with a team of nearly 400 people, from surgeons and oncologists to clinical trials specialists and researchers. Our aim is to understand the causes of human disease and develop innovative therapies and technology to improve the quality of life of the people around us.

The Division, reaching across four London campuses (Royal Free, Bloomsbury, Whittington, and Stanmore) brings together three major research departments; Surgical Research, Urology, and the Institute of Orthopedics and Musculoskeletal Science. Within these departments are world class research centres specialising in tissue repair, oncology, biomedical engineering, laser medicine, and anaesthetics, to name but a few.

The Division offers world class training in a wide range of subjects which include a number of second and third year options for MBBS students, and a number of MSc programmes. Over 80 postgraduate research students work in the research groups of the Division and its affiliated units and participate in the PhD or MD student programme.
