Course description
If you are interested in studying clinical biochemistry at postgraduate level to further your professional prospects, but don't have the time to dedicate to a full master's course, you can take one or more units from our MSc Clinical Biochemistry course as standalone continuing professional development (CPD) courses.
We offer a range of 15-credit units as short CPD courses to advance your understanding and applied knowledge in the theory and practice of clinical biochemistry and gain the necessary professional and research skills.
Our CPD courses are taught mostly as face-to-face courses using a range of teaching and learning methodologies including lectures, tutorials, workshops and problem-based learning exercises.
Further details of each CPD course unit's aims and content can be found on the below pages:
- Analytical Methods [15 credits]
- Introduction to Clinical Biochemistry [15 credits]
- Diseases of Major Organs [15 credits]
- Endocrinology [15 credits]
- Nutrition and Drug Monitoring [15 credits]
- Paediatric Biochemistry [15 credits]
