Online Sciences Degree :: Accredited Universities

This is a generic programme suitable for all healthcare professionals. The main learning environment is the student's own professional practice and attendance requirements are consequently minimal.
This pathway is a generic route to an MSc, in which you as a healthcare professional can use your own professional practice as the ‘learning environment’. You are learning all the time as a professional and this MSc allows you to use this learning, no matter if you are a chiropractor, physiotherapist, osteopath, medical or another healthcare practitioner. As a practitioner, you will have areas that interest you, and in which you would like to learn more. No matter what these are, the programme will allow you to identify your own objectives, learn according to your own needs and in doing so, enhance your knowledge and skills, and most importantly, improve your own professional practice. Right from the start this MSc will get you thinking about what you do, and how you can improve! This isn’t just an academic qualification; it will change your practice.

You attend CPD courses and seminars but you could also use these towards your MSc.
Learn the skills necessary to be an evidence-based practitioner using our extensive library facilities and electronic journal resources; we will give you an Athens log in facility for the time you are a student with us.
If you have any post-qualifying qualifications, or extensive professional experience, you may be able to use these to gain exemption from some parts of the course, making your study time shorter and less expensive!

Bioscience’ is a diverse, inter-disciplinary and topical subject which contributes much to health and wealth worldwide. Our course focuses on the application of human and molecular biology to offer solutions and opportunities within the biomedical science and food professions. Our course extends and enhances your bioscience knowledge and understanding, and develops your research and innovation, and enterprise skills, which not only benefits your career advancement but also your employer. Our fully online delivery offers you flexible learning, and progression at a study pace which best suits you. Successful completion of our course also allows you to progress to higher degrees (taught and research) at universities around the world.

Our course is not designed for school leavers but for those in the work place, locally and internationally, who need flexible learning. We need to be able to accredit you for your prior learning to the value of 120 credit points at level 4 and 80 to 120 credit points at level 5. This includes BSc Hons students who did not complete their degree, sub degree graduates and even higher degree graduates looking to update their biosciences.

Most students enter to complete 120 credit points at level 6, over two academic years, but there are opportunities to fast track or slow track your studies. Those students entering the course via 1 or 2 bridging level 5 modules, require 1 or 2 additional semesters.

The internal coherence of the educational aims of the course and its associated learning outcomes across the particular fields of applications of biology (human and molecular), within an environment which promotes research, innovation and enterprise, demand that all modules (120 credits at level 6) are compulsory. This course provides opportunities for students to:

Extend and enhance their existing knowledge and understanding of biosciences, within the context of applications in biomedical, health and food sciences.
Develop their work-related competences, enterprise skills and transferable skills.

- Utilize research skills to undertake research in biosciences.
