Programme Overview

Trichology services are growing in demand, yet there are insufficient numbers of healthcare professionals with the knowledge base required to diagnose, manage, and treat hair and scalp conditions (Macbeth et al., 2018). Our Postgraduate Certificate in Trichology and Hair Sciences has been specifically designed to meet the growing global demand for expertise in this rapidly expanding field. Healthcare professionals will be equipped with a comprehensive understanding of the science behind hair and scalp health, as well as the causes and treatments for various trichological disorders. Our curriculum covers essential aspects of trichology and hair sciences including hair physiology, alopecia and hirsutism.

As a graduate of this trichology course, you will be provided with in-depth knowledge and skills relevant to diagnosing, treating and managing various hair and scalp disorders.

Our students benefit from learning from our renowned expert faculty, with courses designed in line with the latest research and evidence-based practices, ensuring you can apply innovative knowledge to your own practice.

This Postgraduate Certificate in Trichology and Hair Sciences is a specialised programme for healthcare professionals who have already achieved a university undergraduate qualification in a relevant medical field.
This online Trichology and Hair Sciences course supports the professional development of healthcare professionals by equipping them with specialised skills and knowledge in trichology and hair science, enabling them to provide enhanced care to their patients and advance their careers in the field.
