The National Center for Training and Education in Prosthetics and Orthotics, based in the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, offered Postgraduate Diploma courses by distance learning between 1991 and 2000. In September 2000, the National Center discontinued the Postgraduate Diploma courses and introduced a new suite of Postgraduate Courses in Rehabilitation Studies leading to the award of either a Master of Science degree, Postgraduate Diploma, or Postgraduate Certificate. As with the previous courses, these courses are modular and intended for off-campus delivery. They are offered by open learning to allow participants to study at their own pace, in their own homes, at times convenient to them. This paper reviews these developments in postgraduate education.
