Update on 2026/27 entry

Recruitment to the MSc in Physician Associate Studies is currently paused for the 2026/27 academic year. This pause will allow us time to fully consider the implications of the recommendations outlined in the Leng Review on our PA education provision.

We remain fully committed to supporting our current students and to delivering a high-quality education in line with GMC guidance.
