Teaching
We adopt a student-centric approach, ensuring that the needs and priorities of our students are at the heart of everything we do.
The course curriculum is carefully crafted in collaboration with institutional partners and subject matter experts across Europe, Middle East and Asia, emphasising the most relevant and up-to-date knowledge and skills required by healthcare professionals.
The course offers online education that can be participants with a leading-edge understanding of all aspects of diabetes care from screening and diagnosis to patient empowerment and the management of complications.
Acknowledging the busy schedules of healthcare professionals, the course offers a state-of-the-art flexible online learning environment, allowing students to balance their studies with their personal and professional commitments. This includes a carefully considered blend of live and asynchronous learning components, enabling students to learn at their own pace and access course materials at any time, on any device.
We pride ourselves on offering personalised support to students throughout their learning journey. Many of our learners are returning to education after a significant gap so the course includes a comprehensive induction, guidance on academic writing and study and regular feedback. This helps students to overcome barriers to learning and fosters a sense of belonging and engagement within their group.
Class sizes
The course recruits 3 cohorts per year, with approximately 50 students in each cohort.
Students are allocated to groups of approximately 25 based on their preference for tutorial times.
Assessment
Each of the core diploma modules has a combination of both formative and summative assessment. This includes reflective journals and weekly critical analysis of a topical issue or short clinical case and for the summative assessment, a structured assignment and an examination comprised of multiple-choice questions.
For the MSc and the research module, assessment will comprise a research protocol, oral presentation, poster presentation and a journal article.
