Career-focussed healthcare courses for health professionals
We offer training across a wide range of topics including clinical education, genomics, nature, primary care, public health, systematic reviews, wellbeing and much more . Whether you're looking to develop your own practice or support your team, we're happy to talk through the options.
Masters degrees and courses
You don't have to commit to a full Masters straight away. Most of our MSc courses can also be taken as a PGCert, usually over one year part-time, or a PGDip, usually over two years part-time. Any modules from the listed courses can be studied on their own as individual credit-bearing modules too, and the credits you earn can count towards a full award later. More details are available on each course page.

Flexible study opportunities through standalone modules
Our CPD opportunities are designed to help you develop the advanced skills and knowledge needed to make a positive contribution to the delivery of healthcare. We offer the opportunity to undertake standalone, credit bearing modules, which allow students to study flexibly around their career and personal commitments. Module credits achieved can be used toward gaining a PGCert, PGDip, or MSc qualification. Fees and more information on how to apply for a standalone module are available on the relevant course page.
