Neurophysiology PgCert

Study the Postgraduate Certificate in Neurophysiology at Aston University to become more autonomous in your role and to develop the ability to evaluate and improve services for patients. This course has been designed for individuals already in professional practice who want to advance their skills to enhance the diagnosis and treatment of patients and gain a deeper understanding of their clinical neurophysiology practice area or develop knowledge in new areas. <br/><br/>The content of most modules is available by distance / blended learning, allowing you flexibility in how you study. <br/><br/>The course is accredited by the Academy for Healthcare Science (AHCS), and in combination with The Association of Neurophysiological Scientists (ANS) professional exams, is a route to registration. (Any professional exams would be arranged by and undertaken in your local department, not through Aston University). <br/><br/><strong>How you will learn</strong><br/>All teaching and learning materials are hosted on Blackboard – a virtual teaching environment - as you will be taught via a blended learning approach combining individual and directed learning with scheduled seminars and workshops to complement your learning.<br/><br/>You will be provided with a clear plan per study module with assessments aligned to the module learning outcomes. Some modules will have in-person sessions that you are recommended to join. Please note – there is a two-day in-person attendance requirement as part of the Introduction to Healthcare and Professional Practice module. <br/><br/><strong>What you will learn</strong><br/>Dedicated support systems are in place from across the University, and this program benefits from a guest lecture series. Your scheduled time on campus provides you with the opportunity to discuss learning, participate in group activities, and meet with your project supervisor.<br/><br/>Although this will depend upon the individual, a typical student can expect to spend around 10 hours per credit of study. <br/><br/>Modules are primarily assessed via coursework, so you can benchmark your abilities early on and develop your skills in managing your learning.
