Modules - distance learning

Overview

Paragraph

Individual Modules

You can study all the modules in our distance learning programmes (with the exception of the project reports and Clinical Trials integrating module) on an individual basis.

These modules are particularly useful for anyone working in NGOs, government and health departments, and as clinicians, researchers, scientists or other professionals who are exposed to the topics covered and would benefit from learning more. They are also helpful if you would like to 'sample' one of our formal programmes.

Full list of distance learning modules available

If you do not have the standard academic requirements to register for a formal programme (i.e. PG Certificate, PG Diploma or MSc), you may be asked to take one individual module to be considered for entry.

Module fees 2023/24

Fee per core module (Clinical Trials, Demography & Health, Epidemiology, Global Health Policy, Health in Humanitarian Crises, Infectious Diseases): £2,500

Fee per core module (Public Health): £1,710

Fee per advanced/elective module: £2,500

Application fee: none

Credit system

Our system is consistent with the European (ECTS) credit system; most modules are worth 15 UK credits, equivalent to 7.5 ECTS credits. Modules worth 10 UK credits are equivalent to 5 ECTS credits.

Credit transfer

If you complete an individual module and decide to register for a PG Certificate, PG Diploma or MSc, the grades and credits you have gained may be transferred. To qualify, the module must form part of the structure of the programme and the request must be made within three years of completing the formal assessment for the single module.

If you transfer from an individual module to a formal award, you pay the programme registration fee (which doesn't apply for single modules) and then the fee for the remaining components of the programme.

However, there may be situations in which it is desirable or necessary for the School to make changes in course provision, either before or after registration.
