Relevant QAA Subject Benchmark Groups
There are no specified QAA Benchmarks for Integrated Masters degrees/certificate in Bioscience, however the principle of such programmes in other subject areas is to ensure coverage of Honours level Benchmark requirements plus ensure that elements of the higher Masters levels objectives are met.

There is a recognised Faculty of Sports Medicine (FSEM) syllabus to which we have mapped the programme.

Programme specification

Musculoskeletal medicine (MSK) is a rapidly developing field of medicine practised by a variety of clinicians including general practitioners and allied healthcare professionals. This online course is specifically designed to provide students with flexibility to tailor their time to their schedule.

The course is aligned with the joint MSK Diploma exam of the Primary Care Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Medicine Society and the Faculty of Sport & Exercise Medicine.
The programme offers:
• Flexible learning via an online education platform;
• Monthly live online tutorials;
• Individual topics taught by UK clinicians who are experts within their specialist field;
