What you’ll learn

The curriculum will be covered in a ‘taught course’ of 3 terms divided into modules. Three modules will be covered in each of the first and second term and two modules in the third term. 

Each taught module accounts for 15 credits and each module takes 4 weeks to cover the taught materials including one or more module assignments. Teaching will make use of online learning methods and the 'flipped classroom' model. This means that you will study a number of elements using online materials including lectures, podcasts, guided reading exercises and so on, with regular tutorials in which various activities incorporating individual and group work will help you to consolidate your learning. You will complete a reflective portfolio log-book in which your experiences are mapped to each of the modules.

About the Institute

Queen Mary University

Founded in 1785 as the London Medical College, Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) is the amalgamation of four historic medical institutions, including England’s first medical school.

It was officially granted university status in 1887 and now offers over 240 degree programmes across three faculties: Humanities and Social Sciences, Science and Engineering, and Medicine and Dentistry.

QMUL is a Russell Group university, operating across five campuses in London and at sites across Europe and Asia.

  • In the 2023 Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings, QMUL ranked 16 in the UK, and 124 globally. 
  • The students are drawn from over 170 nationalities: approximately 41 per cent are from overseas, the university prides itself on having a vibrant and multicultural community
  • QMUL has nine Nobel Prize winners among our former staff and students.

Course Curriculum

9 Modules

Clinical Portfolio

In this module students will participate in a range of observership activities and other skill-building sessions, tutorials, journal clubs, research seminars etc that are relevant to clinical endocrinology and supportive of the taught curriculum. This module aims to support the student in recording their participation, reflections and broader reading in a reflective portfolio. This is an important way to demonstrate engagement with such activities and also to demonstrate engagement with learning outcomes across the breadth of the programme. It also builds a skill that is vital to clinical trainees in their day-to-day development and is something they will be required to do at all stages in their career.
