MSc Endocrinology (Online Delivery)

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc 1 or 2 years part time online

Course Description

Run with our partnerĀ Diploma MSc, the MSc Endocrinology is an online masters course that is practical and clinically focused. Course content and structure are designed to create professionals with greater confidence and understanding of the management of patients with endocrine disorders, through case studies and discussion. This online course will develop the skills to access information independently and use it to critically assess, evaluate and disseminate evidence that is related to endocrine care.

We help you develop creative, problem-solving approaches to complex clinical situations, and become an important advocate in the delivery of care to people with endocrinology-related problems. It is envisaged that most students will be in endocrine-related posts or aspire to such positions. As such, this Endocrinology qualification has direct relevance to the demands of working roles, so it will assist in your career development and specialisation.

Entry Requirements

To secure your place on the course, applicants will typically hold a first degree or equivalent (including international qualifications) in a relevant professional healthcare field, such as a medical or nursing degree. Registered healthcare professionals without these recognised qualifications will be considered on an individual basis and a wide range of prior experience may be taken into account.

In some cases, applicants may be asked to submit a piece of work for assessment in order to confirm that they are able to work comfortably at postgraduate level, and demonstrate the requisite clinical and professional knowledge.
