What this program offers
A face-to-face, 60-credit University of Barcelona hand-surgery master's fellowship hosted at Hospital Clínic. The 2026–2027 record publishes specialist eligibility, three teaching languages, EUR 6,000 tuition and a 15 October start; its 31 May pre-enrolment deadline has passed, so current availability is unconfirmed.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
Face-to-face university master's training designed to provide hand-surgery subspecialty knowledge and skills and prepare candidates for the FESSH accreditation examination
Benefits may depend on appointment type, training level, visa status and the active academic year. OrthoFellow keeps stipend and benefits separate so a salary figure is not mistaken for the full package.
