Designed as both a thorough introduction and update in the fields of gastroenterology, hepatology and nutrition, this programme is aimed at clinicians wishing to gain strong knowledge of the sciences underpinning clinical diseases and their management. It offers a focus on the relevant basic sciences and research techniques. The Diploma (or ‘taught course’) runs from October until April. To gain the MSc you take research projects that run from April until August.

The Centre has two endoscopy training simulators, and training on these simulators is included for full time students. Full time students will also have opportunities to observe clinical meetings, audits, clinics or endoscopy sessions mainly in the latter half of the year.

From 2010 the Diploma is available as a distance learning course. Teaching is recorded and uploaded and made available on the Internet. Regular live online tutorials and meetings will be run with senior members of the Faculty.

For selected high-achieving students there are opportunities to stay in the Centre as clinical research fellows studying for higher degrees (MD(Res) or PhD).
