Continuing professional
development: single module
and short course study
Whatever qualification
you’re considering,
remember that QMU
is committed to
continuing professional
development (CPD)
and we will always
have something more
to offer you in terms
of further study and
developing your career.
Single module study
You do not have to commit to a full
named award (eg MSc, MA etc). You can
opt to study individual modules from
many of the courses listed in this
prospectus. As little as one module
will enable you to further your knowledge
in your chosen area.
Satisfactory completion of a module
(including assessments) can provide
credit towards a postgraduate award,
for which you subsequently register.
This option can be particularly useful for
those returning to study after many years
in work. If you haven’t used your study
skills for a while, or you want to try out
study at QMU before committing yourself
to a full named award, you can start with
a single module to build your confidence
and prepare you for further study.

Please contact the programme leader,
listed on the individual course pages on
our website to find out which modules
are particularly suitable for studying as a
stand-alone option.
Short courses
We also offer short courses developed
especially for CPD purposes. Those
offered by QMU are mostly (but not
exclusively) in the area of the allied health
professions (AHPs) and are available to
view on our website www.qmu.ac.uk/
