Course summary

About the course

As a student on the MSc in Sleep Medicine, you will spend two years engaging in a comprehensive taught programme covering the physiology of sleep, through to clinical practice and societal implications.

Delivery of this course is mostly online, with a one-week residential component. You will engage regularly in real time with classmates and teaching faculty. This will culminate in the submission of a dissertation. You may also wish to consider the related two-year PGDip in Sleep Medicine.

Assessment

Modules will be assessed through a mixture of extended written essays, online exams and oral examinations, which will include presentations.

Throughout the course you will be expected to work on your dissertation, which is the final piece of coursework, to be submitted at the end of the course. This will take the form of a systematic review and a research study design, including ethical considerations and budgeting. To support this process you will also have to complete two modules in research methods.

Graduate destinations

The main purpose of this course is to provide working health care professionals with the knowledge to implement sleep medicine practice into their own professional undertakings. This course will also prepare students to take the European Sleep Research Society Expert Somnologist examination. Students may also wish to consider further study, in the form of a PhD/DPhil.
