Allergy impacts 30-40% of the global population (World Allergy Organization), with cases becoming increasingly complex and severe. Our fully online programme equips you to tackle this growing challenge.

As a World Allergy Organisation Centre of Excellence based at one of the UK’s leading teaching hospitals, we’ll help you gain in-depth knowledge of allergic diseases and improve treatment for both adult and paediatric patients through practical, real-world applications.

The multidisciplinary nature of the course makes it suitable for GPs, hospital-based doctors, nurses, dietitians and scientists who are involved with adult and paediatric patients.

Our flexible postgraduate course offers you the option of tailoring your learning to suit your needs. You can choose from studying single modules, PG Certificate, PG Diploma or the full MSc Allergy.
