Optional modules
MSc students also take four optional modules. For a list of optional modules, visit the full module list on the main page.
PG Dip
Core modules
PG Dip students must take Evidence-Based Child Health (CHLD0083) and Applied Statistics for Health Research 1 (CHLD0064). They must also choose two of the three following modules: Molecular Biology of Normal Development and Birth Defects (CHLD0070), Molecular and Clinical Aspects of Childhood Cancers (CHLD0071) and Clinical Genomics, Genetics and Rare Diseases module (CHLD0060).
The Research Project (CHLD0063) is not required for the postgraduate diploma, but we do hope that all of our students have the enthusiasm and develop the skills to begin their own projects as a result of the degree.
