Course Description

The role of educators is key to improving professional practice, by developing the workforce to meet the rapidly changing demands of service provision. This programme will enable you to engage with current educational theory and pedagogical research, to develop an in-depth understanding of professional education.

The overarching aim of our Professional Education programme is to produce competent, independent educators, who are able to develop and deliver professional education across a variety of settings, within an inter-agency context. 

This will appeal to educationalists and expert practitioners, nationally and internationally, working within the independent, private and public sectors. 

Undertaking this programme will prepare you to develop and deliver programmes of study relevant to your own profession.

Within this interprofessional programme, you will reflect on your own learning and apply this to practice throughout. You will be encouraged and supported to turn written assignments into publications and, on graduation, you will be prepared for an education role in either practice or academic settings. 

This is a well-established programme which is validated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council and Higher Education Academy (HEA). On successful completion of the PG Cert (two core and one optional module), alongside a portfolio of evidence, you can apply to become a Fellow of the academy or a Stage 4 tutor. This recognition is highly sought after in Higher Education and worth seeking in your role as an educator

There are progression opportunities on completion of the programme to Postgraduate Diploma and Master of Education awards.
