Course overview
The philosophy of this Medical Education programme is grounded in a view of professional development through research-based activity. In each module, you are supported to engage with the theories which guide your educational practice in the situations you encounter in your role, and to test and develop these theories through research and reflection. The teaching and learning approach of the course is founded on the principle that learning is an active, experiential and collaborative process.
We are able to consider applications for funding for completion of the PGCert, which will give participants a platform to progress onto completion of the PG Diploma or MA themselves via their own funding arrangements.

The overarching aim of the educational research you will undertake is to provide you with insight into your educational practice, sustained by evidence. The outcome of this research can influence the quality of your practice as an educator for the benefit of learners, other educators and the wider educational community. This approach to study provides a solid theoretical and practical foundation that can be applied to your own teaching context.
