Some Masters courses have the option of a Postgraduate
Diploma in cases where the taught course has been
satisfactorily completed but a dissertation has not been

as they are not open to entry as separate options from their
parent Masters course i.e. students apply for entry to the
appropriate Masters course.
The course comprises core modules on dysphagia
incorporating disability issues, counselling, therapy
processes, medico-legal issues and ethics. There will be a
strong emphasis on evidence-based practice throughout
the modules. Students must undertake to arrange and
participate in supervised practical work in dysphagia (with
experienced Supervisors to be recognised by the School).
Exemptions may be made for students who have already
