THE STUDENT BODY

This post-graduate course has so far enrolled 150 students across 35 countries worldwide, and representing more than 24 disciplines and professions. Our course has attracted physicians and healthcare professionals, including respiratory physicians, neurologists, psychiatrists, paediatricians, geriatricians, GPs, specialists who are focused on ‘behavioural sleep medicine’ (e.g. clinical psychologists, neuropsychologists), clinical neurophysiologists as well as applied sleep scientists, sleep technologists, and nurses. We have also enrolled students who are relatively early in their careers, recently graduating from undergraduate education.

Students interact with each other during the weekly online discussion groups, lead and moderated by core teaching staff. While the course is almost entirely online, our students build collegiate working relationships and networks, forging bonds that transcend global boundaries.
