This is a five-year workplace-based training programme supported by an underpinning doctoral-level academic programme and, where appropriate, Royal College qualifications.

It comprises a work based training component, overseen by the National School of Healthcare Science, and an academic component known as the Doctor of Clinical Science (DClinSci).

Prospective students may wish to undertake one of the School’s postgraduate modules. These can be taken separately to aid career progression, and some may be available to give students a taster for the challenges of postgraduate education.
