Summary
The MSc Critical Care Programme is aimed at anyone driven by a desire to improve outcomes for critically ill adults. Our tutors and students reflect the multidisciplinary nature of critical care. The clinical, academic, and professional themes of the programme aim to develop healthcare professionals who question, lead and motivate others to achieve the best care for their patients.
The programme has been designed and developed in partnership between the University of Edinburgh and the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh.
Who this programme is for
We have designed the MSc Critical Care (online) programme for healthcare professionals who encounter critically ill adults in their daily practice. These professionals may include:
-
nurses
-
doctors in training
-
senior doctors from all specialities
-
allied health professionals (for example, pharmacists, physiotherapists, paramedics and dietitians)
Prospective students will often be working full-time in professional roles and need a flexible approach to study. The programme is therefore designed as a part-time, fully online MSc programme.
Study options
The MSc in Critical Care is a part-time, online programme taught over three years.
You can exit the programme after Year 1 with a postgraduate certificate, Year 2 with a postgraduate diploma or Year 3 with a Masters in Science.
Alternatively, you can choose to study single or multiple courses through the Postgraduate Professional Development (PPD) scheme.
