The MSc in PID will provide an essential step forward for those interested in continued training in the sub-specialty, and is an extension to the two-year Postgraduate Diploma in PID.

The MSc is intended to assess the students capacity to formulate research questions, select, design and manage a research project and write a dissertation of not more than 15,000 words on the research project.

Students will belong to the Department for Continuing Education’s Graduate School, which specialises in providing a stimulating and enriching learning and research environment for all the Department's part-time graduate students, fostering intellectual and social interaction between graduates of different disciplines and professions.

Students may attend any of the regular series of University lectures and seminars in relevant disciplines, particularly those run by the Department of Paediatrics.

In order to apply for the MSc, you must have successfully and recently completed the PGDip in Paediatric Infectious Diseases.

The MSc is intended to assess your capacity to formulate research questions, select, design and manage a research project. You will complete a research project of between eight and fourteen weeks and write a dissertation of not more than 15,000 words based upon this. The research can be carried out in Oxford or locally, making the programme suitable for overseas as well as UK residents.

You will receive support and guidance from your dedicated Oxford supervisor during the preparation of your dissertation. If you are completing your research project outside of Oxford  you will also be required to find a local supervisor.

While there is no formal teaching programme for the MSc year, you may attend any of the regular series of University lectures and seminars in relevant disciplines, particularly those run by the Department of Paediatrics.

Applicants to the MSc in Paediatric Infectious Diseases are normally expected to be predicted or have achieved a first-class or strong upper second-class undergraduate degree with honours (or equivalent international qualifications), as a minimum, in an appropriate subject. All candidates should have an appropriate medical qualification equivalent to MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery).

Strong performance and successful completion of the Postgraduate Diploma in Paediatric Infectious Diseases is an essential requirement for the MSc. Students who have been awarded the Postgraduate Diploma will normally be eligible for admission to the MSc up to two years after completion.
