Healthcare educators play a vital role in our universities, workplaces and public services.

You’ll study the latest research and evidence-based teaching, learning and assessment strategies, applied across a range of different settings, taught by highly-skilled educators from both academic and practice settings. All students complete the core unit of the course, aimed at developing both your practical teaching skills and your understanding of educational theories. You’ll be encouraged to think critically and to analyse your practice. Then you’ll choose two further units from a range of options. You could focus on the design and development of educational interventions; or explore simulation-based education as a tool for teaching and assessment. You could choose to develop your competence and capabilities as a workplace supervisor; build your expertise in delivering technology and digitally-enhanced learning; or explore key leadership issues within education today. There is one core unit (Principles of Learning, Teaching and Assessment) and two optional units which make up the 60 credits required for this course.
