Cert(CPD) Anatomy and Physiology

Where changes are made to material information contained in this course description or a decision is taken to suspend a course between the offer of admissions and enrolment, we will inform applicants at the earliest possible opportunity and will outline the various options available to the applicant.

As the University of Greater Manchester's BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science programmes are accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS), you can study our modules as stand-alone professional development courses. If you have studied a non-accredited degree, completing this course can form part of your supplementary education, helping you meet the academic requirements for HCPC registration as a biomedical scientist.

The IBMS assesses non-accredited qualifications against the HCPC standards of education and training, and the curriculum from the QAA Subject Benchmark Statement to determine if supplementary education is required. For more information, visit the IBMS degree assessment webpage.

Important note regarding tuition fees: EU nationals who meet residency requirements (have settled or pre-settled status) may be eligible for 'Home' fee status. If you do not meet these residency requirements, overseas fees will apply. Irish citizens living in the UK or Ireland will be eligible for 'Home' fee status under the Common Travel Area arrangement. Please read the student finance for EU students web page on www.gov.uk for information.

The fees for a student's course of study will be set for the normal duration of that course subject only to inflationary increases – measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) recorded in March each year to take effect for subsequent start dates.

Your studies may include lectures, seminars, tutorials and critiques, self-directed learning, e-learning and laboratory/workshop sessions, as well as online sessions and support. Practical skills are acquired through technical introduction and support, workshop sessions, demonstrations and activity-based assignments. Active learning is promoted with a strong practical theme throughout.

We employ a wide variety of formative assessment activities, such as quizzes, discussions, in-class tests, group presentations, submission of summative assessment drafts (where appropriate) and debates. Together, these demonstrate what you can do, what you know, and your critical and evaluative abilities. We use assessments in a positive way to encourage you to develop a range of important skills.

This programme adopts a blended style of learning and teaching, including online delivery and engagement where appropriate.

The university will use all reasonable endeavours to deliver your course as described in its published material and the programme specification for the academic year in which you begin your course. The university considers changes to courses very carefully and the university will minimise any changes. Please be aware that our courses are subject to review on an ongoing basis and changes may be necessary due to legitimate staffing, financial, regulatory and academic reasons. The content of course modules and mode of associated assessments may be updated on an annual basis. This is to ensure that all modules are up-to-date and responsive to employment and sector needs. The published course material and the programme specification contain indicative ‘optional modules’ that may be subject to change due to circumstances outside of our control. For this reason, we cannot guarantee to run any specific optional module.
