MSc in Paediatric Infectious Diseases
This master's degree can be taken part-time over one year as an extension to the Postgraduate Diploma. It is for those who wish to broaden their knowledge about paediatric infection and develop research skills in the subspecialty. It involves a research project of between eight and fourteen weeks and a dissertation based upon this. The research can be carried out in Oxford or locally, making the programme suitable for overseas as well as UK residents.
MSc students become matriculated members of an Oxford college, and so benefit from additional academic, pastoral and social support.
