Overview

During this Diabetes Care programme from Glasgow Caledonian University, you will learn about best practices in health management and diabetes from a broad range of perspectives.

Understand the biology of the disease
Learn about preventing, diagnosing and managing diabetes
Recognise diabetes complications
Explore the latest research in the field
Survey up-to-date advances in management and care
Acquire the skills to collaborate on active clinical research

Keeping the programme career-focused, our diabetes care and management masters students undertake a number of clinical attachments at local hospitals. This opportunity helps them solidify their skills and make a positive impact on patients in a real-world setting. The final Project/Dissertation Diabetes module gives students the opportunity to obtain an enhanced understanding of an area of diabetes or to undertake a clinical audit in collaboration with local diabetes consultants.

Graduate prospects

Graduates of this course go on to do good work in general practice, hospitals and clinics. Some choose to study for the UK General Medical Council GMC exams (PLAB 1 and 2) and go on to work in the NHS.
