Applications are still open for 2025 entry for the Oxford Online Programme in Sleep Medicine, a two-year part-time online PGDip/MSc programme:

MSc: https://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/graduate/courses/msc-sleep-medicine
PGDip: https://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/graduate/courses/pgdip-sleep-medicine

This course will be of interest to a wide range of physicians, e.g. respiratory physicians, neurologists, psychiatrists, paediatricians, geriatricians, GPs, specialists who are focused on ‘behavioural sleep medicine’ (e.g. clinical psychologists, neuropsychologists), clinical neurophysiologists, applied sleep scientists, sleep technologists, and nurses; as well as those recently graduating from undergraduate education.

The course is almost entirely online. Pre-recorded materials can be reviewed at your convenience, complemented by moderated weekly online discussion groups held at two different times to accommodate the different time zones of students on the course.

Course content is organised into modules covering the following topics:
– The Physiological Basis of Sleep
– Introduction to Sleep Medicine and Methodological Approaches
– Circadian Rhythm Disruption and Sleep
– Insomnia
– Sleep Disordered Breathing and Sleep-related Movement Disorders
– Hypersomnias and Parasomnias
– Sleep in Specialist Populations
– Sleep and Society
– Research Skill modules (for MSc students)

As an Oxford graduate you will obtain a specialist credential to promote your development and practice. The programme however does not in itself confer a licence to practice. You would be expected to practise within your own professional codes and the boundaries of your professional certification.
