Overview

This is a flexible, part-time, modular master's programme specifically designed for doctors wishing to develop their roles as educators.

The Medical Education MSc is taken sequentially, starting with the Postgraduate Certificate in year one, the Postgraduate Diploma in year two, and finally the Master's in year three.

Participants develop the ability to adopt a learner-centred teaching approach, structure teaching, and set objectives that enhance their students' learning.

You will apply educational theory and research to your own teaching practice, recognise how assessment theory should inform practice in assessment of medical competence, and appraise both medical trainees and peers.
