Course details

Please note: The Postgraduate Certificate in Paediatric Infectious Diseases course is transferring from the Department for Continuing Education to the Department of Paediatrics for entry in September 2024.

Full details of the course can be found on the Department of Paediatrics website and applications can be made via the University's Graduate Admissions website. 

Overview

The Postgraduate Certificate in Paediatric Infectious Diseases is a part-time course with teaching delivered primarily online, along with a couple of residential components. 

The course draws on world-class research and teaching in paediatric infectious diseases and offers a unique opportunity to gain an understanding of the principles that underpin paediatric infection, the ways in which those principles have developed, and to translate this understanding into good clinical and research practice.

The course will appeal to doctors who have experience in paediatrics, including trainees in paediatrics who have an interest in specialist knowledge in the field of paediatric infectious diseases, for example those training for the RCPCH paediatric infectious diseases special interest (SPIN) module. It is also suitable for GPs with an interest in paediatric infectious diseases.

The Certificate offers a one-year alternative to the Postgraduate Diploma. However, students who successfully complete the Certificate and wish to continue their studies may apply for the second year of the Diploma.
