Professional Diplomas & Certificates

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

The courses offer highly intensive study from world-class faculty, and allow you to immerse yourself into the subjects while on study break/annual leave from your career. They also offer huge networking potential with students coming from over 60 countries.

We work with key partners to ensure that our Professional programmes are fit for purpose, and many are accredited or recognised with Royal Colleges such as the Royal College of Nursing, the Royal College of Midwives, and the Royal College of Physicians. You will see many are also recommended by key organisations such as Médicins Sans Frontières. Some of our Professional courses have been running for over 100 years – such as the Diploma in Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (DTMH) – and are world-renowned.

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.
