    PgCert in Primary Care

    A PgCert in Primary Care will be awarded to those students who undertake any four of the optional courses from the MPC prescribed programme, successfully completing the required assessments and therefore gaining 60 SCOTCAT points at M level. The core courses of the MPC are excluded from those available for the PgCert. Current courses comprise those in the elective list above.

    Following successful completion of the PgCert you may transfer these 60 credits to the MPC but would be required to apply in the normal way and fulfil the criteria for that degree. Entry to the MPC will, however, not be guaranteed and applications will be considered on an individual basis. Students who progress to the MPC must complete this degree within five years from the beginning of the first course of the PgCert.

    Continuing Professional Development

    A few suitably qualified professionals will be accepted each year to undertake some of the courses as part of a credit-bearing CPD programme.
