Course summary
These programmes will help health professionals develop their teaching skills in studying for a postgraduate certificate, postgraduate diploma or MSc. These programmes emphasise practical application of educational methods and theory, along with the development of reflective, evidence-based practice. There is a positive, student-centred approach to teaching and learning. Interactive small-group teaching and the flexible, friendly support received by learners are among the many strengths of the programmes, as well as the networking and contacts enjoyed by students in their future careers. The 60-credit certificate can be completed in one or two years part-time. Following completion of the certificate, the 60-credit diploma can be achieved over one or two years part-time. On completion of 120 credits, progression to the 60-credit MSc dissertation is allowed. Alternatively, all 180 credits can be attained through the campus-based programme, studying full-time for one year or part-time for two years.
