Master’s Degree in Aesthetic Medicine and Anti-Ageing

The Master’s programme is structured around a blended learning model with a distinctly practical focus, combining flexible online learning with progressive training geared towards real-world clinical practice.

The theoretical component is delivered via asynchronous content, allowing students to access lessons and materials at any time and organise their study around their own schedule. This system makes it easier to balance the course with professional commitments without compromising the continuity of learning.

The training process is underpinned by clinical case-based learning, in which students work with real-life situations to develop clinical judgement and decision-making skills in the consultation setting.

Throughout the programme, students follow a phased training programme, starting with simulation environments (both digital and using physical simulators) and progressing gradually towards clinical practice, enabling them to acquire technical skills in a structured and safe manner.

In addition, students have access to personalised tutorials, which help monitor their progress and address any queries throughout the programme.

Each module includes practical exercises and self-assessment, enabling students to consolidate their knowledge before moving on, thereby ensuring a progressive understanding of the content.

The programme culminates in a Master’s Thesis (TFM) focused on developing a project applicable to real-world clinical practice, so that the work carried out is of direct use in the student’s professional practice.

El Máster de Formación Permanente en Medicina Estética está dirigido exclusivamente a titulados en Medicina, al tratarse de una formación orientada a la práctica clínica en el ámbito sanitario.

Requisitos de acceso

Para acceder al máster es necesario cumplir alguno de los siguientes requisitos:

• Título de Licenciado o Graduado en Medicina obtenido en España.
• Titulación extranjera en Medicina debidamente legalizada mediante Apostilla de La Haya.

Este requisito garantiza que el estudiante cuenta con la base clínica necesaria para abordar con rigor los contenidos y la práctica del programa.

The Master’s programme includes compulsory work placements (6 ECTS – 150 hours) designed to provide progressive and applied clinical training, combining different learning environments throughout the programme.

Practical activities take place in a variety of formats that complement one another:

• Remote practical exercises
  Resolving clinical cases to develop medical judgement and decision-making skills.
• Digital simulation
  Training in virtual environments prior to clinical application.
• Real-world simulation and practical work with patients
  Training on physical simulators and the administration of treatments to patients at UAX’s university clinics in Madrid, Oviedo or Málaga, through intensive face-to-face practical sessions organised over six weekends, in small groups and under professional supervision.
• Rotation in specialist clinics
  Experience at external centres in the aesthetic medicine sector.

These activities are not designed as isolated phases, but as an integrated practical pathway, in which students combine simulation and clinical practice throughout the programme, progressively consolidating their skills.

Furthermore, if a student has at least one year’s experience in aesthetic medicine, they may apply for credit transfer for their practical training, subject to individual assessment.

Overall, this approach enables students to gain real-world practical experience in medical-aesthetic procedures, developing technical confidence and clinical judgement applicable to clinical practice.
