Health Sciences CPD part-time programmes preparation

Welcome to the Health Sciences CPD part-time programmes welcome information. Our programmes run within the School of Health Sciences based at the Kate Granger Building

Our CPD programmes each have their own focus but all build on the foundation of experience bought to the classroom by you, our students, currently working in multidisciplinary environments in healthcare across the UK. Our courses equip you to work in a modern healthcare system with knowledge and skills to develop yourself and your careers. 

Each programme is managed by a Director of Studies and overseen by our Head of Department, Amy Dopson. Our teaching staff have a wealth of knowledge and experience in a variety of settings across the health and academic sectors to support your learning. 

Our teaching optimises a hybrid approach utilising in person teaching across both the Stag Hill and Manor Park campuses, alongside our online teaching provisions. Many of your in-person lessons will be at the Kate Granger Building, which is also home to our state of the art simulation suite. You can find further information about our programmes and course information in our course handbooks.

Top tips

If you haven't already, make contact with your Director of Studies to ensure you have a plan for the years ahead and have been made aware of all the available support. 

Get yourself a year planner. Your course will require a lot of planning around your study, work and life commitments so you will need good time management. 

Even once you are enrolled on our programmes you will still need to apply for each module. This is done by completing the module application form, which is available on each module webpage, and emailing this to postreg_admin@surrey.ac.uk. You need to apply for modules six weeks prior to the module start date, so for Autumn modules, this may mean you need to submit the module applications in mid-august. If you are unsure, please contact your Director of Studies.

For many students they are returning to education after a significant break as they look to take the next steps in their career. This can be daunting, but if you feel this is you, do look at the support available from our Academic Skills & Development team and Disability & Neurodiversity team, there is more information about our support services.
