MSc Internal Medicine
We run a joint MSc with the University of Edinburgh, which is an online, distance
learning course delivered over three years. Primarily for doctors early in their
careers, the curriculum complements the syllabus for MRCP(UK), with additional
modules to advance patient management, to give practical experience in
literature review, and to prepare for future audit, research and publication.
The RCPE offers a number of full or partial scholarships for the MSc each year.
