Postgraduate programmes
We have the largest programme of postgraduate education in occupational hygiene and in occupational medicine in the whole country, admitting over 140 new students to our courses every year. Besides the opportunity to achieve University qualifications, many use our courses to prepare for their professional qualifications in these disciplines, such as the Membership (MFOM) of the Faculties of Occupational Medicine of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of London and Ireland.
We use a blend of modalities in our postgraduate teaching and although distributed learning (including online learning) features prominently, we also have short residential courses and face-to-face seminars.
