This course has been developed and is taught by practising professionals and industry experts. In addition to a series of online lectures from academics, you’ll gain invaluable insight from guest speakers and develop communication skills in interactive seminars and lively group discussions. We also encourage practical learning, and you will have the opportunity to take part in clinical days where you will experience innovative procedures first-hand. We also incorporate bespoke online learning tools such as our own app for simulation-based assessments.
You will be expected to complete further hours of independent study. You’ll take an active role in your own learning by reading designated material, producing written assignments and completing projects.
To help you along your journey, you’ll also be assigned a Student Adviser, who will guide and support you in both academic and pastoral matters throughout your course.
You will also be supported by your programme administrator who is responsible for the day-to-day organisation and management of the programme and is on-hand to facilitate a positive learning environment and support your engagement during your studies. The Blizard Institute's team of dedicated education administrators recently received an Education Excellence Award for their work.
