With a flexible, modular framework, the part-time MSc has been devised so that it can be undertaken by those in full-time employment, and to accommodate the structure of specialist training in health care. A variety of modules is offered, maximising student choice, and classes make highly effective use of interactive, problem-based learning. Study between modules is supported by a rich and regularly updated virtual learning environment.

The Programme is delivered in conjunction with Oxford's Department of Primary Health Care, the UK's top-ranked department in this field (Research Assessment Exercise 2008), and is supported by the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine.
