Professional Diplomas

These courses are ideal for students with limited time or those wishing to study flexibly. Our professional diplomas range from 3–13 weeks duration, and prepare you with key knowledge and practical skills, in a short amount of time. 

The courses offer highly intensive study from a world-class faculty, and allow you to immerse yourself in the subjects. They also offer huge networking potential with students coming from over 60 countries.

We work with key partners to ensure that our professional diplomas are fit for purpose, and many are accredited, recognised or recommended by organisations such as the Royal College of Nursing, the Royal College of Midwives, the Royal College of Physicians and Médicins Sans Frontières.

Applications are through our Online Application Portal.  Paper application forms are available upon request if you have low bandwidth or are having trouble accessing our Student Information System.
