Postgraduate Diploma in Diabetes

The Postgraduate Diploma in Diabetes is a part-time, distance learning course, which consists of 2 days of introductory lectures, followed by an on-line modular programme.

Please note: We are now accepting applications for January 2010. We are hoping to process all applications by 31st October 2009 and therefore would encourage applicants to submit these as soon as possible.

The major aim of the programme is to provide high-quality diabetes education for doctors with a specialist interest in diabetes. This 2-year course is delivered on-line by experienced health professionals who have an in-depth and broad-ranged knowledge of diabetes, diabetic complications and related topics. Throughout the course, considerable emphasis is placed upon pathophysiology and the clinical management of diabetes and students are encouraged to actively participate in the on-line activities and to demonstrate their critical thinking and clinical understanding.

The Postgraduate Diploma in Diabetes was established to bring a recognised university based qualification which uses up-to-date teaching and assessment methods and gives access to education in diabetes for health professionals throughout the world.

Introductory lectures will be held in January 2010 in Cardiff and the Middle East. Other venues currently being considered.
