Overview
The Postgraduate Certificate 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;
- 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 your own research practice.
The Health Research course 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 an option module; further information on all course modules is available via the course page on the Department for Continuing Education website.
Modules are run over an eight-week blended learning cycle. An initial period of self-directed study is spent working on introductory activities using a Virtual Learning Environment. This is followed by a week spent in Oxford for supported face to face teaching, and then a further period of Post-Oxford activities (A mixture of self-directed and supported distance learning also delivered through the VLE). The final week of each module is for self-directed personal study, shortly followed by the assignment submission.
