PgProfDev Global Health and Infectious Diseases at University of Edinburgh

The PgProfDev in Global Health and Infectious Diseases lets working professionals take up to 50 credits of stand-alone postgraduate courses from the online Global Health and Infectious Diseases programme over two years. It leads to an award of academic credit rather than an exit qualification, and credit can be transferred towards a named exit award if the student is eligible.
