We understand that you may not have time for a full-time degree, so our CPD pathways allow you to study flexibly in the way that best suits you. The structure, mode of delivery, and level of support allow you to progress towards a qualification at postgraduate certificate, postgraduate diploma, or Masters level. This pathway supports clinicians from a range of professional backgrounds to access musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging.
