Clinical Dermatology (MSc/Diploma) – (M.Sc.)

This is a full-time course covering a complete year commencing at the end of September. There are frequent lectures both from members of the dermatology department in Cardiff and from specialist speakers from other major British dermatology centres. There is regular clinical tuition and there are visits to other specialist dermatology departments in the United Kingdom.

Students pursuing the Diploma course will exit the course in May, following the successful completion of the final exams.

Students pursuing the MSc course will be eligible for progression to Stage 2 of the course (dissertation component) following the successful completion of the Stage 1 examinations in June.
