Cardiff University also offers a face-to-face MSc in Psychiatry

The eLearning MSc in Psychiatry of Cardiff University was set up in response to demand from Psychiatric clinical trainees and health workers in professions supplementary to medicine around the UK who did not have a suitable training course available to them in their locality or who had to move mid course to other locations for professional reasons. The eLearning course allows all students to complete their studies wherever they are working. Also, there is no equivalent course to our MSc course in many countries around the world. Each year a number of overseas students travel to Cardiff to take part in our course as full time students, having to interrupt their clinical training in their own countries. The distance course allows them to continue to work in their home countries while studying for a masters degree qualification.

The eLearning MSc in Psychiatry course aims to offer psychiatric trainees a well-rounded postgraduate education which includes supervised research experience in the form of clinical research where possible or the writing of a systematic review.

Teaching material includes over 250 online lectures, a large number of simulated patient interviews, expert academic interviews, live tutorials, novel eLearning presentations, quizzes, course work and discussion groups. Most course text books and other materials are available online and supported by the School of Medicine electronic library team. Student learning will be directed and supported by a course tutor.

The course consists of 4 compulsory modules making up 120 credits

The module titles are:

* Organic illness and Substance Misuse
* Psychosis and Mood Disorders
* Anxiety, behavioural and personality disorders
* Learning Disabilities and Child & Adolescent Disorders

Each module will consist of 2 or 3 Units of Study, each of which will contain teaching material related to the diagnostic criteria in one section of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision (ICD10) published by the World Health Organisation.

Graduates in medicine from an approved university are eligible to apply. Applications from graduates in other health sciences, biological sciences or psychology are also welcomed. All psychiatric trainees working full-time or part-time in NHS posts are eligible to apply for the course. Overseas students will be expected to demonstrate a high level of English language competence (please see below).Selection of applicants to this course will be on the basis of a completed application form and referees´ recommendations. Selection criteria include academic results, psychiatric clinical experience, evidence of an interest in psychiatry and proven competence in English. English Language Requirements IELTS band: 6.5 IMPORTANT NOTE: Since April 2014 the ETS tests (including TOEFL and TOEIC) are no longer accepted for Tier 4 visa applications to the United Kingdom. The university might still accept these tests to admit you to the university, but if you require a Tier 4 visa to enter the UK and begin your degree programme, these tests will not be sufficient to obtain your Visa. The IELTS test is most widely accepted by universities and is also accepted for Tier 4 visas to the UK- learn more.
