Neuroimaging for Research (Online Learning)

To disseminate neuroimaging knowledge, skills and understanding, in order to enable effective and efficient use of neuroimaging in research.

Aims of our flexible, intermittent, part-time, online learning (OL) programme:

• to provide an understanding of research, which uses neuroimaging techniques
• to develop research planning & designing skills, incorporating neuroimaging
• to enable interpretation & analysis of relevant neuroimaging data
• to relate neuroimaging research to clinical applications

You may choose to study to Certificate, Diploma or Masters level.

You may take up to 30 credits per semester, 60 credits per year.

Postgraduate Professional Development (PPD)

Aimed at working professionals who want to advance their knowledge through a postgraduate-level course(s), without the time or financial commitment of a full Masters, Postgraduate Diploma or Postgraduate Certificate.

You may take a maximum of 50 credits worth of courses over two years through our PPD scheme. We offer online credit-bearing courses which run for 11 weeks at a time. These lead to a University of Edinburgh postgraduate award of academic credit. Alternatively, after one year of taking courses you can choose to transfer your credits and continue on to studying towards a higher award on a Masters, Postgraduate Diploma or Postgraduate Certificate programme.

Although PPD courses have various start dates throughout a year you may only start a Masters, Postgraduate Diploma or Postgraduate Certificate programme in the month of September. Any time spent studying PPD will be deducted from the amount of time you will have left to complete a Masters, Postgraduate Diploma or Postgraduate Certificate programme.

• Online learning options

Please note that individual elective courses will only run if there is a minimum of 3 students taking the course.
