A flexible bespoke opportunity to train and practice

This part-time Master of Family Medicine programme has been designed with working professionals in mind, with the majority of the teaching through distance learning. The study commitment is of approximately 10 - 15 hours per week, to allow busy students to continue existing duties while they enjoy interactive and problem-based learning modules specially designed for them.

Global online community

An important benefit of this programme is the online community which allows the student often working as a single practitioner to share experiences of managing many different and difficult clinical scenarios and innovative treatment practices with students from around the world through active discussion boards, blogs, group work and videos. 

Graduates who have completed the programme have spoken of the strength of support and encouragement that they gained from being able to share and learn together even though they are working in isolated places.
