Overview

This Medical Education PGCert course from University of Brighton aims to enable students to design, change, assess and evaluate curricula and courses of study. The course aims that students will be confident applying education theory and qualitative research to improve education in healthcare settings.

The course has been designed using participatory curriculum design methods, with constructive alignment between content, teaching and assessment at its core. We strongly believe in faculty development as a way to foster authentic, expert pedagogy. We have focused on student experience and connections with faculty and peers, meaning our students feel that they belong at BSMS.

Career opportunities

Graduates of our Masters courses have gone on to flourish at the top of their profession. Some have secured NHS jobs (such as consultant jobs) with significant educational responsibilities (such as training programme directors or Directors of Education). Other graduates have gone on to become clinical academics, pursuing PhDs in health professions education and Associate Professor jobs at Universities.

The PG certificate shows potential NHS and University employers that you are a committed educator, who is able to apply education theory to practical aspects of teaching, supervision, curriculum design, assessment and evaluation.

General requirements

The PGCert course is open to all healthcare professionals and those working in non-clinical roles who contribute (or wish to increase their contribution) to the education of healthcare students and postgraduate learners. A first degree is not essential but evidence of ability to study at Masters level and a current teaching commitment are desirable.

For intercalating MSc medical students, successful completion of at least three years’ basic medical science at a UK medical school (having gained at least 360 credits) with a guaranteed place to continue medical studies on completion of the MSc.

The course forms one of two validated routes for entry to the PGDip or MSc in Clinical Education (will become MA Health Professions Education from 2027/28, subject to validation), the other being via the PGCert in Simulation in Clinical Practice.
