Location of University of Glasgow
* MML: 36 months part-time (distance learning)
The first two years involves online interactive modules and your attendance at two annual residential weekends at the University in each year. The method of assessment in each of the first two years is four essay-style assignments of around 5,000 words each.
The first year consists of compulsory core and optional modules covering fundamental principles of medical law.
Core modules (one assignment from each)
* Introduction to law
* Medical negligence
* General principles of consent.
Optional modules (one assignment to be chosen)
* Decision-making for the incompetent patient
* Confidentiality
* Product liability and vaccine damage.
The second year allows you the opportunity to consider issues arising in reproductive medicine and in end of life care. There are module options to choose from in both areas but you must choose two modules to complete assignments on from each area.
Issues at the beginning of life (two assignments to be chosen)
* Assisted reproduction
* Controlling reproduction
* Maternal-fetal issues
* Surrogacy.
Issues at the end of life (two assignments to be chosen)
* The legal meaning of death (including consideration of PVS)
* Withholding and withdrawing treatment
* Organ transplantation
* Assisted suicide and euthanasia.
In both years all online modules will be available to you, regardless of the assignment chosen.
At the end of this two-year period, you will have one further academic year to submit a dissertation of around 20,000 words, on a relevant subject, under supervision. However, please note that successful completion of this programme does not qualify you to undertake professional legal practice as a solicitor, advocate or barrister, for which separate academic and professional qualifications are required.
