Postgraduate Qualifications
We offer three postgraduate qualifications for health professionals: Postgraduate Certificate (PGCert), Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) and Master’s degree (MSc). The qualifications are sequential, so all students begin by studying the PGCert, and those who wish to pursue their studies further can continue onto the PGDip, and ultimately the MSc.
The Postgraduate Certificate (PGCert) consists of three modules that provide a comprehensive understanding of obesity and opportunities to develop your practice based on the latest research.
Following on from the PGCert, the Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) consists of three further modules, each exploring a specific area of obesity care and weight management in depth.
The MSc is for students who have completed the PGDip. It requires students to complete a research dissertation awarded by the University of Central Lancashire. *Subject to validation
