Is there any difference in accreditation or international recognition for the MSc via Distance Learning programmes in Clinical Neurology and your other MSc programmes? 

Our MSc, courses are awarded by UCL, as such there is no difference in accreditation or international recognition between the two.

Can this course be taken as part of your Neurology training program?

All of our courses are academic. Some national regulatory bodies may recognise this course as part of a trainees specialist training, but the course is not intended for this purpose, and you would have to find out from your home authorities whether completion of a UK higher degree would assist you in this way. We can not approve this.

Does the MSc via Distance Learning in Clinical Neurology qualify the candidate for Neurology specialisation?

The course is an academic programme. It depends on your own country’s governing structures whether completion of a higher degree permits you to cite this as a speciality. You would not be able to do so in the UK; as only specialist training within the NHS leads to that status.

What textbooks would you recommend?

Neurology: A Queen Square Textbook by Charles Clarke, Robin Howard, Martin Rossor, and Simon D. Shorvon. All students enrolled on this course will receive free access to a PDF copy of this book through the UCL Library system. You will need to have a valid UCL username and password to access this.
