PGDip As a student on the PGDip in Sleep Medicine, you will spend two years engaging in a comprehensive taught programme covering the physiology of sleep, through to clinical practice and societal implications.
Delivery of this course is mostly online, with a one-week residential component. You will engage in real time with classmates and teaching faculty. You may also wish to consider the related two-year MSc in Sleep Medicine.
Structure and content The PGDip is a part-time course, spread over two years. During that time you will complete eight modules, providing a comprehensive overview of sleep medicine that is in line with the European Sleep Research Society's teaching and training guidelines. These modules include:
-
The Physiological Basis of Sleep
-
Introduction to Sleep Medicine and Methodological Approaches
-
Circadian Rhythm Disruption and Sleep
-
Insomnias
-
Sleep Disordered Breathing and Sleep-related Movement Disorders
-
Hypersomnias and Parasomnias
-
Sleep in Specialist Populations
-
Sleep and Society.
The course is designed to give as much flexibility as possible, whilst still providing necessary support and community. Lectures are pre-recorded and sent for you to watch in your own time, alongside any relevant reading, case studies and activities.
You will join discussion groups; these are run using conferencing software, allowing you to interact in real-time with classmates and teaching faculty and will typically last 90 minutes. For these sessions you will be expected to prepare short essays and/or presentations for discussion. You will also be expected to attend a week-long residential school in person at Oxford.
All core reading material will take the form of peer-reviewed publications, which you will have access to via the University online library, SOLO.
You will need a computer (Windows or iOS), webcam and microphone for this course. You will also need to ensure appropriate internet connection. The recommended bandwidth for the software is 1Mbps.
