Overview

The Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) in Health Research will help you to:

develop skills of research, design and data analysis in both qualitative and quantitative research;
critically evaluate health research;
identify, critically appraise and incorporate the results of medical and social science research into the day-to-day decision making of clinical, scientific and administrative practice;
apply the principles of evidence-based practice in health care settings;
plan how to implement the findings of research to improve health care; and
use theories and principles underpinning clinical research to inform their own research practice.

The Health Research programme at the University of Oxford is delivered through the Department for Continuing Education, with the expertise in curriculum design and teaching drawn from the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine and the Clinical Academic Graduate School.

You will take two compulsory modules and four option modules; further information on all course modules is available via the course page on the Department for Continuing Education website (see Further Information and Enquiries).

Programme Structure

Courses:

Some modules are run entirely online.

There are ten units to work through which are released week by week. Each unit includes a mixture of supported and self-directed learning with discussion forums, tasks and activities. Students then have five weeks of self-directed personal study with use of a revision forum and the requirement to submit an assignment electronically the following week.
