Module information

    Please note that the list of optional modules and their availability may be subject to change. We continually review and where appropriate, revise the range of modules on offer to reflect changes in the subject and ensure the best student experience. Modules will vary when studied in combination with another subject.

    Below shows the modules which make up a PgCert in your chosen pathway. If you wish to continue your studies to gain a PgDip you may continue by completing a further pathway in clinical reporting or by completion of a range of 30 credit modules. Further details are available on request. Once you've completed the PgDip you can achieve the MSc Clinical Reporting by completing two further modules.

    You can apply for stand alone (Bespoke Clinical Reporting, Brain Clinical Reporting and Abdomen Clinical Reporting) modules here.
