What Career Plus is
Career Plus is the College’s postgraduate career-elective programme. It sits beside the statutory MDS curriculum. It is not a new degree, not a substitute for DCI or MUHS requirements, and not a seat advertisement. Every student who completes it receives a College Career Plus certificate naming the seven modules and the logs actually done. Counted clinical cases start in Year 2.
