-
Pathobiology, epidemiology and symptoms of cardiovascular diseases (coronary artery disease, vascular disease, heart and valve disease, paediatric heart disease) and their current treatments.
-
Theory and principles of currently used techniques in adult and paediatric perfusion science.
-
Key elements of a well-designed research project.
This online programme is intended to provide advanced level knowledge and understanding of the field of clinical perfusion science to practising perfusionists, culminating in the completion of a novel research project related to this area.
| Level | RQF Level 7 |
|---|---|
| Entry requirements | You will typically need an upper second-class honours degree or international equivalent in a medicine-related, clinical or bioscience subject, including nursing and perfusion-related subjects. This programme is intended for international applicants who are currently training in or working as a perfusionist.

This offer would be at the standard level, so you would need to achieve the standard entry requirements by the end of your degree. We will also consider your application if your final overall achieved grade is slightly lower than the programme's entry requirement. If your achieved grade is lower than our entry requirements, your application may be more likely to receive an offer if you have additional relevant work experience or qualifications. If you have at least one of the following, please include your CV (curriculum vitae / résumé) when you apply, showing: - evidence of relevant work experience in a clinical-related role, examples include, perfusionist, organ preservationist, operating department practitioner, cardiac physiologist See international equivalent qualifications on the International Office website. |
