Cosmetic Medicine Programmes Online
Taught completely online, our Postgraduate Certificate, Diploma and Master Cosmetic Medicine programmes have been specifically designed for doctors, dentists, dental therapists, pharmacists and nurses, and have been developed with the express purpose of promoting and enhancing the professional knowledge underpinning practice in cosmetic medicine. The programmes are designed to complement Recognised Prior Learning (RPL) awards.
These practice based awards are being developed specifically for cosmetic medicine practitioners and are approved by the Welsh Aesthetics and Cosmetic Society.
With the Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners (the JCCP) adopting increasing regulatory requirements for aesthetic practice, individuals undertaking aesthetic procedures should have a formal postgraduate qualification. Therefore, these qualifications from our Cosmetic Medicine programmes would be an important milestone in the healthcare practitioner's journey to be an aesthetic practitioner. Such qualifications are also regarded as integral by the individuals' regulatory authorities, such as the GDC, GMC and NMC.
The Postgraduate Certificate, Diploma and Master programmes are aimed at doctors, dentists, dental therapists, pharmacists and nurses whose roles are evolving with increasing demand amongst these specialists for a postgraduate qualification to help support their professional learning and clinical development.
Students may apply for the MSc in Cosmetic Medicine as a two-year programme, firstly by completing the Postgraduate Diploma (120 credits), followed by the MSc (60 credits).
