Course overview
Become part of the next generation of experts investigating why respiratory conditions are one of the most common causes of death and poor health worldwide.

Develop skills to thrive in an in-demand health sector whilst studying in cutting edge facilities for precision medicine.

What makes this course different?
This programme offers a comprehensive overview of common respiratory conditions, covering their diagnosis, management, and the integration of public health, community, and secondary care in service delivery.

Our course provides specialised training for aspiring respiratory specialists in both primary and secondary care, catering to medical professionals and allied healthcare workers alike.

Study in one of the UKs largest healthcare regions.

Our partnership with University Hospitals Birmingham is integral to Birmingham Health Partners, which also works with Birmingham Women's and Children's Hospital. This also provides teaching from leading paediatricians where students' studies require it.
The Universitys cutting-edge facilities, including the Institute for Translational Medicine (ITM), support advancements in respiratory medicine like lung cancer and asthma. Students may also observe clinical trials during UHB placements.
The University of Birmingham is also ranked as the first choice for leading graduate employers in the UK.

Career opportunities
By completing this programme, you'll be well-prepared to work at an advanced level in respiratory medicine, whether as a clinical nurse specialist or allied healthcare professional. If you're medically qualified, you'll gain a competitive edge over those who have completed Deanery-based training and assessment, giving you a strong advantage when applying for consultant roles.

Careers Network
Get ready for tomorrow, with advice, guidance and opportunities at every step of your studies. From developing new skills to preparing for a PhD, our Careers Network can help you gain an advantage in the job market or advance in your field.

Whatever you plan to do after your degree, the Careers Network offers a range of events and support services including networking opportunities, career coaching, one-to-one guidance, careers fairs and links with leading graduate recruiters. We also offer subject-specific careers consultants and a dedicated careers website for international students.
