Course Overview

In 2016, the World Health Organisation (WHO) stated that diabetes was the direct cause for the death of 1.6 million people, as well as it being the primary cause of blindness, kidney failure and other cardiovascular mortalities. This MSc is designed to develop and further your understanding and knowledge of diabetes focusing on up-to-date research and developments in the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes. The course is suitable for healthcare professionals, researchers, and intercalating medical students. Why study this course with us? You will receive training in the skills required in the reading and interpretation of the literature and translating that into evidence-based practice. We aim to develop your research and writing skills so that you will be in a position to contribute to the scientific literature in an effective manner. The course culminates in the Research Dissertation, which will be assessed through your production of two articles in the style of published scientific work. Our aim will be to develop these to publication with you if suitable. Aspects of the course content are mapped to academic content of The Joint Royal Colleges of Physicians Training Board Speciality Training Curriculum for Endocrinology and Diabetes Mellitus.
