Course summary

This suite of three year-long part-time programmes is for all health professionals involved in the education and training of undergraduates and postgraduates. The PGCert allows you to develop your knowledge of theory and practice in teaching and learning, assessment and curriculum design. The PGDip and MEd focus on your skills as a researcher in education. What makes this course different? In our course, you'll delve into theory and its practical applications in your educational setting. We offer two one-year part-time PGCert courses, each tailored slightly differently:

  • Multi-professional Course: Designed for doctors, dentists, nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists, midwives and other health professionals.
  • Clinical Teaching Fellows Course: Designed for clinicians currently working as clinical teaching fellows who deliver teaching to University of Birmingham undergraduate students in local NHS trusts.
On both courses:
  • Modules are taught by clinicians and educational experts.
  • Learn collaboratively through group activities and discussions during teaching days at our Edgbaston campus.
  • Oportunity to present your education projects and research at the annual ‘Birmingham Conference’.
  • Gain professional recognition as a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).
Our programme is structured around the UK Professional Standards Framework and has been accredited by the Higher Education Academy since 2009.

Assessment method
