Our course allows you to study the training and development of healthcare professionals, develop your practical skills and understand the evidence underpinning contemporary practice in clinical education.
As well as taught modules, you will complete a dissertation, allowing you to apply your new knowledge and skills in clinical education to a topic that really interests you.
The modules are based around three themes, covering the range of contemporary clinical education:
As well as studying for a postgraduate qualification, you will be able to seek recognition by Advance HE as an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
You will have the opportunity to study alongside qualified clinicians from different clinical backgrounds and career stages, and will study as part of a supportive, diverse multi-disciplinary group, supported by leading educational researchers and practitioners.
Either a Bachelors degree (or equivalent qualification) in a clinical discipline, in which you are actively practicing, and in which you hold appropriate professional registration or licensing.
Or a Bachelors degree in another subject with evidence of recent experience and/or current involvement in clinical education.
Applications from registered healthcare professionals without an undergraduate degree but who can demonstrate relevant experience will be considered on their individual merits.
For fees and funding options, please visit website to find out more.
There are a number of possible sources of funding: loans and grants, bursaries and scholarships.
An educational qualification is either ‘essential’ or ‘desirable’ for most senior clinical roles: many of our graduates will move into senior clinical roles within the NHS, others will move into ‘teaching’ roles within universities or training institutions, or educational leadership roles. This course will prepare you for a higher degree (e.g. PhD, MD, MPhil) and will enhance your professional skill set and career options.
