This is a unique degree: there is no
other course specifically devoted to medical journalism in the
UK. It's designed to prepare
applicants for careers in medical journalism or to augment their
medical careers and to provide an intellectually stimulating and
demanding course of study.
The course aims to train students who have successfully completed a
minimum of two years of the BSc Honours in Basic Medical Sciences
(pre-clinical) in the highest standards of medical journalism.
Afterwards, they may return to Medical School to complete their
primary course. It runs for two 16-week semesters that
commence in late September and early February. Successful
applicants will be required to undertake specially modified modules
derived from the University's existing
Postgraduate
Diploma in Journalism and one from the
MA
in Journalism Studies.
