Master of Medicine in Otorhinolaryngology at Stellenbosch University

Entry requirements

Programme-specific (MMed programmes in general): an MBChB degree from Stellenbosch University or another qualification considered sufficient, held for at least three years before application, and registration with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) as a medical practitioner in the independent practice category. Registration as an MMed student requires a registrar post with the Western Cape Provincial Department of Health and Wellness or the National Health Laboratory Service (exceptions: occasional students attempting primary subjects, and students who have completed training time and only need to finish the research assignment). Selection is competitive and meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. Applicants specialising in Otorhinolaryngology or Orthopaedics or Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery must also have completed suitable courses such as ATLS, ACLS, PALS and APLS. Supporting documents: proof of professional registration.
