I think the short course programme is a highlight of the Bristol Medical School. It's great to learn from skilled researchers in their field, and be given direction so you aren't left floundering and attempting to teach yourself every skill needed for your degree. There's a lot of support available, all of the tutors are knowledgeable and friendly and the courses cover a lot of content in a short period of time.
The short courses offered are really interesting and relevant to health research, and facilitate getting to know other researchers and departments. I am always impressed by how well organised, helpful and friendly the Short Course Team are - they are really outstanding.
Materials & Recordings (UoB only)
Find out more & sign up to our self-paced 'Materials & Recordings' option.
I am really pleased about the variety of courses of the programme (the materials only recording courses are one of the best parts) and how helpful the Short Course Programme team are. I had several questions and problems and they have always been there.
