Overview

The Health Professions Education programme at the University of York trains doctors and healthcare professionals of the future – equipping them with the skills and knowledge to meet the demands of a modern-day health service.

Quick Facts:

Our Health Professions Education programme will equip you with the skills and knowledge to deliver exceptional teaching, assessment, course design and educational research, so you can inspire and lead in your area of practice and ultimately improve health outcomes. The programme is open to those from across the healthcare professions, so whether you are working in nursing, physiotherapy, dentistry, medicine or any other relevant profession, we can help you take the next steps to enhance your teaching. Former students have come to the programme from a wide range of healthcare professions, both clinical and non-clinical.
We offer three routes – a Postgraduate Certificate, Diploma and MSc – all of which are flexible and designed to fit around your busy work schedule and home life.
Teaching is delivered by experienced clinical and non-clinical academics and researchers from our Health Professions Education Unit (HPEU), a research group dedicated to advancing health professions education. We extend knowledge boundaries on workforce research, recruitment, selection and widening access, workplace-based learning, curriculum development, professionalism and assessment to enhance practice and understanding.
